I bought this frame from Best Buy as a Mothers Day gift for my mom. It was on sale for about $70, which was a good deal. My mom's not a very technical person so I needed the frame to be easy to set up. It was - simply insert your memory card and "Voila" instant picture show! My mom was fascinated by the moving pics, but I knew I had made a mistake in the selection when she started asking "why is that one so dark?" or "I can't see that one so good." I knew that she was referring to the poor picture quality due to the frame's low resolution and pixelation.

In a nutshell, if you're closer than 3 feet to the frame, the photos look dark and lose alot of the detail. This was a major disappointment. The fact that it has to be plugged in all the time was also a detractor, but not a deal breaker for me. I had to read the instructions the first time to access the frame's menu options but that was no biggie.

Overall - It's just an ok product. It will give you the functionality and flexibility expected from a digital frame, but the picture quality leaves alot to be desired. I'm shopping for a replacement at this very moment - I think my mom deserves better than just "ok". I'll probably go with the Philips or Kodak easy share as their reviews are pretty good.

I did my shoping around when picking out a digital photo frame, and ran across the westinghouse at a couple of different stores. my family has puchaces 2 westinghouse flat screen computer monitors over the course of the past couple of years, not a lick of trouble. So naturally, I felt comfortable with buying this frame. It is the standard 480x234 display of many 7" frames (there are more expendsive 640x480 frames, and a larger 10" 860x680 westinghouse if you want to pay for it), the multi-media card reader, mp3/mpeg playback capability as well. One nice feature is the mosaic picture. It's neat 3 pictures side by side on screen is cool, but I'll admit that some of the pictures are hard to see clearly, especially in mosaic, because of resolution. But, mosaic still a neat feature not on many of the other entry level 7" frames. Also, 128MB build in makes it a good self contained unit as well, even without a memory card of some type. check it out.

I was surprised at the high price of these digital frames. I bought this one, which was the cheapest, at Best Buy.
Cons: 1) 128MB internal memory is really not that much for pictures. 2) Not compatible with all brands of memory devices. It does support 5+ different 'types' of memory devices but it is not compatible with all brands. These incompatible brands are not identified on the packaging and they're not listed in the manual, I had to call to find out which I should buy after I bought an incompatible one. I know the Sony brand USB flash drives work fine.
Pros: 1) It's the cheapest one. 2) It really is simple to use if you've got the pictures already stored on a memory device. You plug in the memory device, turn it on and it automatically starts a slide show. 3) It also has a number of different options to view the pictures like speed & order/shuffling of slideshow, multiple pics in the frame at once, etc.
The picture quality is neither a pro or con, it's good for the money.
I recommend it for people who don't want to break the bank.
