2.0 out of 5 stars Completely disappointed., December 21, 2006

Despite saying "high resolution" the pictures are very grainy and the contrast is awful. This is supposed to have the same resolution as the 8" Westinghouse frame, but the picture quality between the two doesn't even compare. After comparing both of them side by side, I'm really disappointed in this frame. I'll be returning it and getting another of the Westinghouse brand frames.

2.0 out of 5 stars It's just not very good., June 14, 2006

The aspect ratio of the screen doesn't match the aspect ratio in the picture you see on the listing, so the device "does its best" to make the pictures fit, with discouraging results. It's like having a nicely-colored comic-book collection of your vacations and family; nothing you really want to show off.

I think you'd be better off just using the screen-saver on your computer, or putting pictures on your PDA, or using a DVD player... I can't really see why anyone would buy this.

Oh well.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor quality, January 30, 2007

I bought this for my mom as a gift. Fortunately I planned to set it up for her before I gave it to her - that gave me the chance to see that the quality of the frame was incredibly poor.

First off, getting the protective film off of the screen is an immense chore - the pull tab that's supposed to help get it off just pulls off, leaving the film in place. The film is quite thin and cut to match the edge of the screen exactly, so that you can't get your finger under there to lift it up. Bad first impression. This was so frustrating that I talked to customer support about it, and they acknowledged that it was a problem they'd been having and offered to remove the film for me if I sent it in to them. After seeing the quality of the frame and screen, I decided to return the unit for a refund, instead.

The frame purports to play .avi files. I suppose technically it does, but quite badly. When I started an .avi file, it played in very slow motion, then paused, at which time the sound to that point played. Then the video started again (in very slow motion again), then paused while the sound again caught up. This continued until I cussed loudly and turned the thing off.

The display of the pictures was barely serviceable. The contrast simply wasn't very good. You could adjust the brightness quite a bit in order to see the pictures, but then the pictures looked washed out.

All in all, a complete waste of money. I'm returning this one and looking for something of immensely better quality.
