This review is from: Philips 6.5-Inch Digital Picture Frame with 4 Interchangeable Frames (Electronics)

Philips is definitely the way to go if you want a digital picture frame. It displays your pictures with amazing clarity and with life like colors. It does what it's supposed to do exceedingly well but no more. It won't play video and the controls/navigation is pretty basic. But it can take all kinds of cards. Before buying this Philips frame I checked out many digital frames including Pandigital, Coby, Axion, Westinghouse etc. in the stores. I almost bought the Pandigital at Costco but I wasn't too excited about the colors and resolution of the screen. Some other frames had added features like mp3 players and could also play back video so I was tempted by those. But finally, I wanted a frame that displayed my pictures with true colors and great clarity and Philips was the clear winner. I am not too crazy about the vertical buttons at the back of the frame, but they allow you to navigate and set up a slideshow. You can choose between some transition effects and the time interval between pics. You can also increase/decrease the brightness and the alignment in portrait or landscape mode. Or you can just display one picture and then manually change it to the next one when you want with the buttons. You don't really need to sync it with your computer. In fact, I'd advise you against that as the software is more cumbersome. Just upload some pictures in a SD card and insert it in the frame slot (with the frame turned off) and switch it on. The pics from your SD card start displaying automatically.

This review is from: Philips 6.5-Inch Digital Picture Frame with 4 Interchangeable Frames (Electronics)

A lot of people like this frame, and I liked it too, at first. But after about a week it went blank and I could not restart or reset it. I was displaying about 3000 JPEGs using a 1 gig memory card. Before it quit for good it exhibited some flaky behavior -- I had to cycle through the different display modes before it would run the slide show. Maybe it doesn't like that many pictures...?

Update: I am more convinced this frame chokes on too many pictures. I bought one for my mom, and set it up with fewer pictures. It worked fine, but as I added more pictures and reached around 900 total it locked up like mine had. I divided the pictures between two memory cards and everything was fine again.

Based on my experience with other frames (see my review of Digital Foci IMT-081 Image Moments Digital Photo Frame), I think this frame is as good as the technology gets, so I would give it another star (but Amazon won't let me). If you have few pictures I think it is a good choice. But it's disappointing that someone can't step up and get this product right.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is worth bying!, October 27, 2007

This item is more expensive than its analogs but it is worth bying. You'll never have any problems with photo format (this Frame has 4:3 whereas most of others have 16:9) and no other problems. I rate it best in digital photo frames.
