Product Description

Designed & Styled by London's NIX Digital, and sold throughout the UK and Germany, NIX proudly present their new top of the range Cordless Digital Picture Frame. The NIX TS08C incorporates key design features and components that combine to deliver a better frame and reproduction of your photos. Styled & designed by NIX, high tech processing power and firmware made by leading processor chip manufacturer Amlogic of California USA, and the all important LCD screen, an Innolux Hi-Res SVGA Active Matrix LCD Screen with LED backlighting, that provides wider viewing angles and crisp, clear images. Whether it's sharing you holiday photos using the cordless function and passing the frame amongst friends round the coffee table, or viewing photos from your desk, this digital frame does it all in style and with the finest build quality. Featured is an Internal Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery allowing for cordless use, a 1GB Internal Memory, an Auto-Rotate Motion sensor that automatically senses when you have rotated the frame and rotates subsequent photos, Touch Sensitive Controls set down the right hand side of the frame for improved ergonomic use & a random display option for your photo slideshows. The superior image quality of the NIX TS08C delivers 20% more pixels than the Sony 9" & the Kodak 8" & 10" Frames, and over four times the number of pixels on a standard 7" frame. The display dimensions are optimal at 4:3 as that is the standard dimension of digital photos taken by a camera. So unlike the Sony or Kodak frames which all have widescreen displays, our frame will not crop your photos. Set against a flat dark surface, the touch controls light up azure blue (on & off) upon your touch, providing a modern, yet elegant look. A video option allows you to watch videos (.avi and MP4 only), and the massive 1GB internal memory provides ample memory to store your home movies and photos. MP3/ WMA music playback, a calendar, and an alarm clock finish off the feature list.

This is my first digital frame and I must have read a million reviews. I had a question about this frame before I bought it. I emailed Nix and had an answer the next day. I bought this, received it quickly and it was amazingly easy to use. The picture quality is great, I love the fact that you can carry it with you without having to plug it in. I just downloaded some avi videos to it and they play great. I had a question after I got the frame (they have a black and white effect in the random effects mode and I thought it was a problem, it's not). Again, I emailed Nix and they got back to me right away. In this day and age of begging anyone with a company to help, that was just wonderful. I am very pleased with this purchase, would highly recommend it to anyone.

My daughter got me this recently as a birthday gift. After my son-in-law explained to me what it did, I was soon looking at pictures of my trip to Europe last year that were on the camera card, as I'd never gotten round to looking at them. There were so many of them, it was like watching a 2 hour movie - and the display seemed to show the pictures in a nice random order. Now, me and my wife are hooked. I even have a couple of home movie excerpts stored on the frame that I saved from my laptop . Apparently this thing plays music as well, so I'm wondering if I need to sell my stereo and VCR!

The design is beautiful. It sits nicely on our coffee table for all to see and admire. I can even pull it away from the power supply for and pass it around as it has an in-built rechargeable battery.

It's been a real hoot with this frame!

I really wanted to keep this frame, but a couple of issues (outlined below) were a deal-breaker so I ended up returning it. Of course since it's Amazon, returns couldn't be easier. I will probably try my luck with another one, especially since I see that the price has dropped $50 since I bought mine.

PRO:
Sleek design. No cheesy-looking mat that makes frame look big but pictures look small. I was concerned that the little blue lights on the right side of frame would be annoying but they turn off after a few seconds.

Huge internal memory, 8X more than some frames.

Ease of use: drag-n-drop your jpegs, couldn't be easier.

Bright screen. In fact I thought it was TOO bright, and had to adjust brightness down a little.

CON:
Had a dead pixel (it was near the bottom-left part of screen, I could have lived with it.)

Slideshow display speed was screwy. I had it adjusted to 5 seconds, but some pictures would display for 10 seconds, and others for 30. Then every so often it would just lock up. If you rebooted it, things returned to normal for a while. But who wants to do keep doing that?

While most pictures looked great, others were very pixelated. Tried reloading them, but no change. The sames files look great on a Dell ultrasharp 22" monitor and on another brand of frame, so nothing wrong there.
