Philips 9" Digital Photo Frame ..... sweet,
By
This review is from: Philips 8.5-Inch Digital Picture Frame (White) (Electronics)
I've only had this for a couple of days so durability is an unknown - but over all I'm extremely pleased. Very nice image display, both size and quality. Attractive and solid build. Even the packaging is impressive.
Was considering one of the 7" models when these came out. Based on a quick review of the older 7" instruction manual vs the newer 9", it appears they significantly upgraded the feature set on the new version. Lots of album and slideshow options, transition effects, timing options, etc. The display is crisp and clean and looks great on my desk at the office, and actualy exceeds my expectations. It's not perfect, though. It won't recognize photos on a memory card unless you move them to the root directory. And large files seem to overwhelm it. After a couple of days of new digital photo frame goofin', it appears that it's able to successfully read, compress and copy files up to around 5MB. Anything there abouts or larger gets lost. It wouldn't have been that big a deal except that it's able to read the larger photos, so the load and copy process appears to take place ... until you notice later that some of the photos are missing. The large file issue is kind of a pain - but I cropped all the images to the frames 3/2 aspect before loading them anyway, so once I knew the large files were a problem it was only one additional step to compress them to something <5MB. I gotta admit it seems overpriced - but the image quality is spot on.

This review is from: Philips 8.5-Inch Digital Picture Frame (White) (Electronics)
The transfer software which runs on the desktop doesn't recognize my second hard drive, which is very bizarre. It's a perfectly normal hard drive but the software can't see that it has folders in it. Also, if you click on an album with a bunch of pictures in it, go get yourself a cup of coffee because it creates thumbnails for each picture and it's very, very slow. While you are getting the cup of coffee, the frame will almost certainly lock up. The transfer software seems to cause the frame to lock up very often. It locks up while deleting pictures, it locks up while copying pictures. Nice.
Basically I found the software that ships with it to be entirely useless. Instead I used irfanview to resize 5,500 pictures to 720x540 and put them on a 1 GIG SD card instead. The UI for the frame itself is frustrating non-intuitive. So it takes a bit of effort to get it set up the way you like it. I definitely wouldn't give this to grandma and expect her to figure it out. Another disappointment. The "random" feature is only random within a album (album = folder). So if I have 20 folders with 200 pictures in each and I set it to random, I'll see all 200 pictures in the first folder displayed in a random order, then it moves on to the second folder. This wasn't acceptable so I moved all 5,500 pictures in one folder. The frame seems to handle that ok, though with that many pictures it takes around 5 seconds to start up before the slideshow kicks in. I don't find that excessive, and the transition time between pictures is short (at least when they are resized to 720x540). The transition effects are cute but I imagine that they would get old pretty quickly. They can be turned off. The method of handling vertically-oriented pictures is quite clever. It displays the picture oriented vertically and fills in the rest of the space with 4 more much smaller copies of the picture. That actually looks quite nice. Now on to the frame itself. It looks nice and modern and iPody. I was concerned when I booted the thing up and looked at the display for the first time. The text looked washed out and blurry. However, when you view actual pictures on it, they look very good. When I bought this frame it was labeled as a 9" screen. Now amazon has changed it to 8.5" screen. It is, in fact, an 8" screen. The entire frame measured diagonally is 11". So I'm not sure where they got "9 inches" from. Apparently no one at Philips knows how to use a ruler. Having said that, the picture is pretty big. It's just the right size if you are going to keep it on your desk next to your monitor. According to my wattmeter, the frame pulls 4 Watts when it's on and 0 Watts when it's off or on standby. Which means, if my calculations are correct, you could let it run continuously for a month and it would only cost you a quarter. The battery backup seems sorta useless, as I plan on keeping it on my desk. But it's kind of nice to be able to unplug it and not worry about losing your settings. My overall impression: after all my complaints, I still love it. I'm dinging it several notches for the terrible, terrible software on both the frame and the desktop and Philips' lying about the screen size. With all that, once you have it up and running it's pretty sweet.

Outstanding so far,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Philips 8.5-Inch Digital Picture Frame (White) (Electronics)
This product is so cool. Whatever your situation is, if you have a lot of digital pictures, then I recommend going out and getting an SD card...preferably up to 1GB (or even 512MB), for use this with this product. Even if your camera doesn't use SD, you can plop the SD card right into the picture frame and upload photos from your computer TO the card! It's like a little computer, this frame. Another big suggestion I have is to find a program online that resizes your photos to the dimensions of the frame (photo size explained in other reviews). (I downloaded Visualizer Photo Resize). This will take photos down from its original size (e.g. 1.8 MB) to a smaller size (e.g. 500KB). This will let your store dramatically more photos. So far I have fit over 1700 photos in about 430MB worth of the 1GB SD card that I have! The picture quality is very good and the frame can swivel to basically any angle and could be used horizontally or vertically. Plus, it is a Philips, which is a great brand. I have a Philips HD TV as well and it is my baby...I love it. This is a great present for anyone! How can you go wrong with a picture frame that replaces its picture any time you want?
Edit: Over 9 months later...still going strong! There has been about 3-4 people, that I know of, that have bought this frame because of how much they loved mine. It is a great, GREAT present.
