Product Description

To create the floating effect, the PanTouch Clear frames feature an eye-catching 800 x 600 high-resolution display that appears to be floating in the surrounding glass. The look is contemporary and unique, yet the styling will fit into any traditional home. Even the stand in back is clear for an unobstructed view.In addition to the styling, the PanTouch Clear frames are incredibly easy and enjoyable to use. Pandigital has enhanced its popular PanTouch interface to be even simpler and more intuitive to use by making all the primary functions accessible in an easy one-step process. Plus, customers can select and view their photos and control the frame's functions with easy-to-understand icons that can be touched directly across the entire glass surface of the frame.To accomplish this, the frames feature leading-edge touch technology, which "prints" invisible circuits on fingerprint-resistant, clear glass. The benefit is that customers can now enjoy intuitive full touch-screen capabilities while still enjoying the premium home decor-style look of the glass on the Pandigital Digital Photo Frame line. This is unlike frames using capacitive-touch technology that require the consumer to directly touch the LCD panel, which prevents the use of glass. Ships with remote control and USB cable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very happy so far with Pandigital Clear Model 8051, February 7, 2010

The model number of my item differs slightly from what is here - possibly because I purchased it at a warehouse club - but appears to be the same specifications. With a coupon, I paid ~ 30% less than the price listed here.

I read a number of Amazon reviews on Pandigital products before purchasing and decided to proceed because the bulk of the negative reviews seemed to be a couple of years old and the newer ones were more positive.

I've had it less than a week but, so far, it has met all of my needs for ease of use, quality, color, etc. I have so far used a USB stick (all photos on the stick) and an SD card (selected images only) to load pictures onto the frame and both went very smoothly. I intend later today to load more photos and MP3s from an external hard drive via the mini USB jack but based on my experiences so far do not anticipate any issues. Deleting the pre-loaded images was easy, changing the mat was easy, learning the interface was easy (though I did use the manual). The wood frame feels and looks high quality and looks beautiful with my living room furniture.

The only reasons I have not given this produce a "5" are: 1) I haven't yet been able to figure out how to remove the recipes - I would prefer to use this portion of internal memory for additional pictures and 2) I haven't been able to discern yet how to make permanent my edits to the portion of a zoomed photo that is viewed. Of course, I can fix that problem by making the edits on my computer before importing.

In a perfect world, I'd like to see the ability to monitor how much of the internal memory is being used (as you can do on your computer, for example).

I would recommend this product to friends and would not hesitate to purchase additional products of this brand.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice but not enough functionality, June 14, 2010

This review is from: Pandigital Pantouch PAN8000DWPCF1 8-Inch Touchscreen LCD Digital Picture Frame with 1 GB Internal Memory (Espresso Brown) (Electronics)

I bought this for as a Christmas present for my in-laws and loaded a bunch of pictures onto it from my computer in a labeled file. I had hope that Mom would be able to load other pictures as separate files and be able to choose a slide show easily to view. However it doesn't work that way and it is disturbing and rather dumb.

My FIL passed away last year and we did a picture memorial to be loaded onto this frame, but we couldn't get it to play the memorial pictures and not the older file pictures that were in the frames memory. I have tried several different things and every time I attempt to play just the one file ALL pictures play on a slide show. I even tried "selecting" individual pictures per the instructions and it still played everything. The only way to play just the memorial album is to deleted all other pictures on the frame. This is not way I bought this album so I am vastly dissappointed,

However, the quality of the pictures displayed is quite nice, to bad a bit more (easily programed) software wasn't included in the package.

- Leaves finger prints on glass ( not finger print free as they advertised)
- Need to buy an adapter from pan digital to enable wifi.
- My piece has a 2 cm line of dead pixels
- Original stand does not work. You should attach the plastic stand given by them
