Product Description

NIX N' EASY is an easy to use plug and play frame. Featuring a large Hi Resolution 12 inch SVGA LED Backlit 4:3 LCD screen and a 1GB internal memory. The X12A is capable of playing photos (JPEG), video (MPEG-4 / .AVI) and music (MP3). A remote control with easy short cut buttons allows you to switch from playing photos to video to music with just a single touch of the remote. This frame is designed to be easy to use whilst packed with features. The Split screen display option will display four different photos simultaneously on the large screen. Also featured is a shuffle display option and hook eyes for wall mounting. The X12A now also sports the new 'Combo' feature that allows you to place specifically chosen images and music together in a single folder, thus allowing you to essentially create a specific soundtrack for a specific slide show. Ideal for showing off that holiday you just got back from! Remember that connecting the frame to external speakers via the audio jack allows for an even richer sound experience.

I researched digital frames for weeks and weeks before settling on this NIX 12 inch frame. I specifically wanted the 4:3 format, 12 inch frame, at least 800 x 600 resolution. It was hard to find a frame that satisfied these three requirements. I am a brand name shopper and really wanted a Sony or Toshiba. I was willing to pay more for THE BRAND. I thought the Toshiba had the nicest looking frame but I couldn't find it in a 12 inch without the widescreen. I have never heard of NIX but for the price, I thought I would give it a try. I love Amazon because of the return policy I finally decided on this "cheaper" frame. It arrived with excellent packaging. Strong box with lots of protection. The frame is plastic but it is very heavy, very durable. Very sharp looking. I like it much better than the wooden frames. I had 1400 photos loaded in a matter of minutes. It is super easy to use though the instructions I thought were a bit misleading. I am using an SD card and I have an amazing slideshow at random of all my favorite pictures. I haven't even tried the music or video yet. It has already surpassed my expectations. It also splits the screen which I haven't tried yet either. The time of display can also be adjusted. The remote is very adequate. It can be turned off with the remote which some cannot. The color is great. It is a bit dark at a distance due to the slant of the frame but the 12 inch is just such an amazing presentation. I have no dead pixels. I really couldn't be happier with this frame. It is such a pleasure to view. I love this frame. Kudos to NIX which is a new brand to me! Why pay twice as much for a smaller frame? My only disappointment is that I have to work and can't just sit at home and savor the memories all day long.

This 12.1 diag measure picture frame is very nice. MaMa is happy! Now I don't have to listen to all the "...when are you going to develop the pictures..." The only problem that I have encountered is that the editing capabilities (like image rotation) do not work as shown in the instructions. I emailed the company but have not received a reply. The picture quality is most excellent, and the price was too. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give it about a 12.

I bought this because my Quantaray frame (10.2 inch) will play jpgs, mpg2 (without the audio portion) or mpg3. Most frustrating for a slide show at a graduation party. This frame has a very nice menu system, easy to use, very intuitive. It played my mpg2 movie easily and without a hitch.
Sounds great, doesn't it? Two things kept me from keeping this frame. First, the audio volume. Level one is so low it can barely be hard. Level 2, however, is very loud. I put packaging tape over the speakers to try to tone it down so that it would not interfere with the small gathering (8 people). I noticed that someone muted it about 1/2 hour into the party. Not good, especially after all the time and work to find the perfect songs and time them to the show.
Secondly, I put this frame side by side with the Quantaray. The Quantary was noticable sharper. That was a disappointment. My Jpg files are about 5MB each. I am not sure if this would be the case with all 12" frames. Perhaps it is simply a function of the size of the frame. Whatever the case, sharpness will win out. Especially since it is rare I want to use music with the frame.
I REALLY wanted this frame to work out. I had tried the 8", but it was too small for my needs. The 10" frames offer features I don't need.
