2.0 out of 5 stars Good resolution, horrible color, December 13, 2008

This review is from: GiiNii GN-811 8-Inch Slim Digital Picture Frame (Electronics)

I just got these frames from tigerdirect because it met my two requirements at a reasonable price: (1) 800x600 resolution or better, and (2) regular, non-wide screen shape. There are lots of cheap frames out there, but most of them have crappy resolutions like 480x234, which, frankly, is so blurry that the details in pictures are non-existent. And many frames use the widescreen format so the manufacturer can claim a bigger inch size for less screen space. The problem there is that most pictures you take are 4:3, not widescreen 16x9, so you either have to crop all the pictures before you load them in, or you'll lose the top and bottom of the picture, or have big black bars on the side, or have the picture be stretched sideways. It's much better to just use a 4:3 frame. This frame met both requirements and is a great bargain... or so I thought. The color of the pictures are horrible! It's almost like there are only 32 colors and the transition from color to color is ugly and obvious. I wanted to return them, looked up return policy on their website, and it turned out these are non-returnable. Man, I wish everything I bought is from Amazon or at least have the ease of returning Amazon prodocts. With no chance of returning products, this will be the last time I order from tiger direct.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pleased with the GN-811, January 13, 2009

This review is from: GiiNii GN-811 8-Inch Slim Digital Picture Frame (Electronics)

After checking the specs and prices of many other frames, I believe this frame has many of the desired features offered on more expensive models yet very reasonably priced.
I have downloaded pictures directly to the frame from our computer via a USB cable, and the picture quality (both color and resolution) is very good. I have not experienced any of the problems some of the others have described here.
Based on the performance it has given me, I would recommend the GiiNii GN-811, 8-inch, Slim Digital Frame.

Just received this frame. When you insert a memory card, the pictures look great. When you copy the pictures to the internal memory it minimizes them, making them look terrible! The menus and controls are bad.
