I recently purchase a Fujifilm W3 camera and wanted a large, portable viewing device for showing off my 3d photos. The display on the W3 is incredible, and I assumed this photo frame would be similar. Not so.
There are a few things that make the device unpleasant from the very start:
- First of all, the resolution is pretty low. You will notice right away that the images are quite pixelated.
- It only supports a specific format for 3d images. It is not difficult to use a freeware conversion tool to convert from the Fujifilm camera format to the side-by-side image format required, but it is inconvenient. This would not be a concern if you were moving images from another Aiptek device.
Neither of these issues were what turned me away from the device, however. For the relatively low cost I could have tolerated the low resolution, and although its a pain I could have gone through the process of converting all of my favorite images to work with this device. The real show stopper is that the 3d effect on this display is purely awful. This kind of display requires proper position to be effective, but on this particular device there is no so-called sweet spot. No matter how you position the display, you'll never get the entire image to look clear. The further away objects are in the picture, the blurrier they get. I'd be embarrassed to show anyone images off of this device, thus I returned it.
It may be that photos/videos taken with Aiptek devices look great, but those taken on the Fujifilm W3 certainly do not.
