4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Product, January 18, 2006

A lot of people have been whining about this product, but I was thoroughly pleased with it. I bought another model for my wife for Christmas and had to return it. It flickered and had horrible color saturation and the pictures were pixely. This frame is the exact look I was hoping for originally. It has a sharp picture with vibrant color - and the color and contrast is adjustable. The frame is quality and attractive and it had no problem reading my card - even though it wasn't supported. I have an xD camera card, but I bought an adaptor that it fits into and then can be inserted into a larger card slot.

The product itself is great quality, superb for the price. The only thing I wish I could change is the fact that there is no remote. You have to start/stop the slideshow manually with the buttons at the back, as well as advance to the next picture or rotate the image displayed. Also - there is no "back" to return to the picture that was just viewed.

I've found that most of these machines don't position the pictures automatically or store their position in memory once they've been rotated, so don't expect that and select pictures for your card that will work with the horizontal or vertical position of the frame, since you can choose either one. I recommend it overall.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Product But Support Message Could Be Better, February 25, 2006

I looked around the review board and there are many of them saying they cannot find the support. The product site is at http://www.digitalwellusa.com and you can try to call them at 1-800-417-7415. I have had this product for only a week. So far I like it a lot: very good picture quality. Much better deal than the one I saw at Brookstone and bigger screen as well. I do like this product quite a bit. Hope this will help.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible Product, December 27, 2005

This is a classic case of how NOT to market a product. While the frame itself looks nice, the installation was a terrible experience. Following the directions was easy, after installing the driver, the frame would not recognize my SD card. (SD cards are shown on the box as one of the acceptable storage media). The enclosed booklet and box do not include any contact information whatsoever . . . no technical support. Hence, I'm sitting on a $200 item with no way to determine what went wrong with the installation. To say I'm upset is an understatement. The documentation with this product is pathetic and inexcusable. Shame on DWELL.
