1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed - and BEWARE!, December 15, 2007

This review is from: Westinghouse 14.1-Inch LCD Digital Photo Frame (Electronics)

I was very disappointed in this picture frame.

While this frame does have a very high resolution, it has virtually NO side viewing angle. If you aren't staring at it directly face on, then it starts to get overly-bright and washed out, or overly dark and difficult to see - depending on the angle you are viewing it at.

It also has difficulty choosing the correct orientation for a picture. If you edit the pictures in an image editor - like Photoshop - then it seems to get them right. But straight out of a camera it often gives you a "sideways" photo in the frame.

There is also a design problem with the Compact Flash card slot. It is very finicky and if you even slightly misalign the card as you are inserting it into the frame, it can fall into the sealed back of the frame. This is VERY easy to do, and I was fortunate to be able to get my card to fall back out of the slot. But it is a design flaw that had to be apparent to any testers and easily fixed by enclosing the slot so that the card couldn't fall through. Westinghouse apparently decided that this was just something we would have to deal with.

Finally, it arrived with a bright blue "dead pixel" in the center of the screen. This was not noticable on bright, "busy" pictures, but it stood out like a sore thumb on dark pictures and particularly on flesh-toned scenes - like, well - you know - people's faces.

As a comparison, I also own the Matsunichi frame which has been flawless. I expected more from a company like Westinghouse. There are better frames out there.

ONE OTHER NOTE: BEWARE - if you order this through Amazon but actually purchase it through Electronics Express, you have an entirely different (and worse) return policy which even though the product might be defective, requires you to pay shipping and limits your returns to 15 days. Look carefully before you order - if it isn't from AMAZON then you are probably up a creek if there are problems.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but..., June 13, 2007

I ordered this frame as a gift. It is lovely and has a clear sharp image. However, when I was installing a compact flash memory card, it slipped through a rather sizeable space between the plastic housing and the slot. With the memory card rattling around in the plastic housing, it disconnected some wires, resulting in no picture. Westinghouse needs to make sure there is no space between the slot and the 'black hole' into the plastic housing of the frame. In other words, be VERY careful when inserting a compact flash memory card

at 1200x800 resolution, this many computer monitors and televisions. I trust westinghouse because I do own a few different monitors by them and have had great luck with them. Honestly, you could buy a TV for this price, but for a picture frame this is the Mercedes. Great clear pictures, Multi-media card reader and self contained program so you don't have to hook up a computer or DVD player to play your pictures, just pop in a memory card (XD, MMS, SD, CF) card and watch. Easy to navagate menues as well. Also able to play Mpeg/mp3 files for multimedia slideshow or short movies. Check this out, it does cost more, but its nice, and the rotating mosiac feature is cool as well.
