2.0 out of 5 stars Inexpensive and simple but lacks needed features and resolution, December 24, 2008

This is a VERY basic frame with very limited features. It is fairly simple to use: just copy your pictures to a SD card (I used 1G) and plug it in. It will automatically begin playing. However, that's where the "good" ends. There is no USB interface to connect it to your PC. Also even though the documentation states that you can download editing software from the vendor's site, the software isn't there. Worse, the frame is no longer listed. It appears that this frame is discontinued and the newer frames (which all appear much more capable) have the software built in. Navigation between photos is a joke. You can only go forward or backward, or rotate a picture. The "mode" command merely switches between full and resized ("crop") mode, which is pointless because there's no way to scroll to view the un-cropped pictures which don't fit the screen. Resolution is very poor with max 480x234 resolution. Pixels are visible on every picture. It will show very high resolution photos (I tested with everything from 2572x1928 to 385x289) but there is no difference in display quality on the screen. Thus if you wish to cram more pictures onto the card, you can manually resize them. Unfortunately, as stated previously, the advertised software to resize the pictures appears to be unavailable. The frame allows photo rotation, but it applies it to all photos so you have to keep rotating back and forth. It's best to reformat all images before viewing them on the frame.

Bottom line: This is a inexpensive and simple frame with low resolution. I purchased it as a gift for my elderly mother and I'm sure it will suit her purposes fine. But for anyone looking for a quality frame with even minimal features, look elsewhere.

2.0 out of 5 stars 8 months later GARBAGE! Dead, and useless!, December 5, 2009

The frame was very basic and had to be on all the time unless you took it of the wall to reach the off button. It burned out and quit working after 8 months.

I wouldn't buy another of their frames at half price.
