I tried to order this product twice and each time it came with dead pixels. I am very disappointed. I gave up on this product and am looking for something else. Picture quality would have been fine. Do note that the contrast ratio is 450:1 so the color isn't as vibrant as your monitor. However, I believe that it is customary in the digital frame market.

This picture frame is quite large and boasts 1024 x 768 resolution. However in terms of picture quality the much smaller Phillips 8", which I had previously purchased, is far superior. Specifically, the contrast ratio, the color and the resolution of the CTA MI-PF15 are all very poor in comparison to the Phillips.

One of the features that this screen offers that the Phillips does not is the ability to play music and movies. However, when attempting to play a simple movie recorded with a Canon Powershot camera, this device failed.

In addition, CTA MI-PF15 that we purchased has a very obvious 'stuck pixel' right near the center of the display area.

In conclusion, for your money, you can find much better picture quality. The extra size of this frame does not make up for the poor picture quality.

We bought this item for our elderly parents last Christmas, and were initially very happy with our purchase. In August, it stopped working completely; we called CTA and they said it would be fixed under warranty and gave us a RMA number. We returned it in September; it is now November and we have heard NOTHING - they don't respond to EMAILs, and no one answers their phone. So this is just money flushed down the toilet. Find a more reputable manufacturer, DON'T get stuck with this one!

I went to the CTA web site and downloaded the Users Manual for the MI-PF15 such that I could fully understand the functionality of the unit before I made a purchase. Satisfied with the functionality, I purchased the MI-PF15. The Users Manual that came with the frame was identical to the one that I reviewed online. The CTA frame lacks many function that are described in the CTA MI-PF15 User Manual.

Such as:
1) There is no Video Out on the frame and no setup screens for video. The User Manual describes the selection of NTSC, PAL,S-Video, YPBPR, and RGB for VGA.
2) There is no Folder Repeat option as indicated in the User Manual
3) etc.

Otherwise the unit is OK.

This item does not function as advertised. The remote control does not function and it will not open folders. The same folder continues to rotate through the slide show. Other folders cannot be accessed. I have returned it and am waiting for a refund.

Good Product, does what it says, however the picture on the web shows it as brown, it came flat black. No problem we just got out the Testors paints and went to decorating.

We enjoy having our digital photos in front of us. I only wish it had a scramble function.

thanks
