3.0 out of 5 stars
Nice item; some issues. Update, May 27, 2010
This review is from: ViewSonic VFM1024W-11 10-Inch Digital Media Frame -Features Music, Video and Photos with High Resolution 1024x600 (Cherry wood) (Electronics)
I just received this item. It looks very good, the price was great for the screen size and array of features and the picture displays are excellent. The set-up/operating instructions are minimal and more than a little confusing. The unit incorporates an option for calendar/time display along with a picture slideshow display on one screen. One major complaint is that the time display mode is in 24-hour format, rather than 12-hour (a.m./p.m.) format and this can not be changed. Most such digital products offer the option of selecting either display mode. Yet, the product literature (including online sales information, quick start guide and operating manual) show the device as displaying time in 12-hour format. Checking with Viewsonic customer service, I was told that 12-hour format is not available. How strange. If a calendar/clock function is important to you, be aware of this shortcoming.
Update - Additional comments regarding the display order of pictures on the frame. Other comments about this issue appear at the digital frame discussion community on Amazon. There seems to be no logic regarding the order in which pictures appear when running a slideshow on the frame. The instructions (such as they are) comment about "sorting" the pictures, but there is no relationship to the actual order in which they are displayed. No help exists at the Viewsonic web site either. This is an annoying shortcoming that should be easy to resolve.

very nice digital picture frame, with random selection, June 7, 2010
This review is from: ViewSonic VFM1024W-11 10-Inch Digital Media Frame -Features Music, Video and Photos with High Resolution 1024x600 (Cherry wood) (Electronics)
Bought this for my wife for mother's day. It is the third digital picture frame we have owned.
The resolution is very good, and the size of the picture is nice, but the best thing about this is the ability to set it for random picture showings in the slideshow mode.
The other 2 we have always start at the beginning, so if you have new pictures on the memory card, you must watch the hundreds of old pictures first. That's not good. This frame can mix them up, or you can select 'new' photos first.
It is a great product and the price makes it a really super value.

I wanna share my observations that I madet in a week, May 8, 2010
This review is from: ViewSonic VFM1024W-11 10-Inch Digital Media Frame -Features Music, Video and Photos with High Resolution 1024x600 (Cherry wood) (Electronics)
I am using this Item for a week. here are some observation that I made:
- First of all screen is good and larger than I expected.
- Colors are good. I did not see any bad thing about screen.
- Program Menus are little confusing.
- The frame is more open color than shown in front-side pictures. Actual color is shown in backside picture and it has good looking in low lightened areas.
- If you want to open a picture trough USB or card reader. The card or the flash driver should be formatted FAT32 file format, NTFS does not supported
These are all I have for now. But I have couple hints for the buyers:
- Start to use your digital camera setting to capture wide angle (16:9)
- Resize and crop your photos to 1024x600 px for good looking. While resizing do not change its width to height ratio.
