TL;DR winner (and not even close!) was this frame!
The Contenders:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Z9ZP5HY (this frame)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075W4FMKL
Insignia 10" widescreen lcd digital photo frame espresso 5498800 (from my local Best Buy)
So here's my 2 cents on this frame...
PROS:
* Includes a USB stick. I was planning on buying an SD card, but it had a USB inside the packaging. That was a nice bonus the other contenders did not include.
* The picture quality. The Spiro frame quality sucked. The Best Buy Insignia frame was actually pretty good (surprisingly considering it seems like it's older technology). But the 12" HD screen beat out the smaller Insignia screen (I know, not really a fair comparison). Even from an angle the picture quality is crisp.
* The sleep functionality was pretty slick. I tested a few different times and it worked perfectly every time. I would set a time to go to sleep and have it wake up a couple minutes later. It turned off right on the dot, and when it came back on it automatically started the slideshow. I have a much older digital frame in my house and when it comes awake in the morning you have to press play on the remote or the back of the frame to start it. This Nix is hassle-free.
* The clock feature is actually kinda nice. We opted not to use it, but it's clear type and you can change a few of the settings, like whether to show date, just time, location on the screen, etc.
* Remote control storage. There's a slot in the back where you can squeeze in the remote. It's a tight fit which is nice because the remote won't be used much so this is a great place to store it so you don't lose it.
CONS:
* Remote. I don't know that it's really a con as much of a head scratcher, but why a square remote? You have to look down every time to see what button you are clicking instead of holding it like a normal remote and knowing what you are clicking because of how it fits in your hand. But then again, I only used the remote to help setup the settings and then I store it forever.
* Cord length. The cord was the shortest of the 3 frames I bought. It wasn't a big deal where we ended up placing the frame, but be aware that you might have to use an extension cord if the frame isn't within a couple feet of an outlet.
* Frame color options. It would be nice to have other frame color options. The black looks nice, but it also makes it an obvious electronic device. My older picture frame and the Best Buy Insignia frame I tested are brown frames made to look like a standard picture frame. Perhaps more people like the shiny black frames nowadays, but it would be nice to sit it on a shelf with a bunch of other "dumb" regular photo print frames and fit in. I seriously considered the Insignia frame for that reason even though the screen was smaller and the settings not as robust. But in the end I went with the higher resolution frame for grandpa's eyesight.
Bottom line... there are more frames on the market I could try, but considering the positive reviews on this frame and compared to my other 2 purchases, this was the best bang for my buck. I didn't need something that connected to the Internet, just a frame that would play a simple slideshow from a USB/SD with a high quality resolution. This frame checked off all my needs.

I was very impressed with the Nix DPF. I looked at all of the parts, plugged everything in without reading the manual, plugged in my SD memory card, and turned it on. Wow! The device turned on, concluded that since I had plugged in an SD card filled with pictures (I took it out of my last, dead DPF), I probably wanted to display those pictures - and started displaying my pictures in a slide show. Very nice! This is the first DPF I’ve ever owned that made the radical assumption that I’d probably want to play all of the pictures on the SD card I inserted. All of the other DPFs required me to go through a long process to teach them that fact - every morning.
So far, I’ve only used the Nix X18B for one morning, but when I turned it on this morning, it again immediately started displaying my pictures. Even better, it started displaying a different selection of my pictures then when I turned it on last night - so I don’t see the same pictures each time I turn it on. Every other DPF had a “random” setting to shuffle my pictures, but they all displayed the same random selection of pictures every morning. So each would start off by displaying, say, picture 100, 25, 300, 75, and 42 - every morning. The Nix software doesn’t seem to do that. “Random” really means “random”. Wow!
I did have one minor problem. Nix gives you a four gig USB flash drive on which to store your pictures. It didn’t register on my desktop when I plugged it into into one of the USB sockets in my Macintosh laptop computer. I was trying to think of what could be wrong when I wondered if the flash drive was inserted upside down. That turned out to be the problem. When I reversed the drive and plugged it in again, it showed up - and I was able to copy my two gigs of pictures and video onto it.
I had the same problem when I inserted this same USB flash drive into the Nix DPF. It didn’t show up on the Nix’s desktop. At first, I wondered if it was because the software wasn’t designed to have both a USB flash drive and an SD memory card inserted into the picture frame. That wasn’t the case. Again, it turned out that I had inserted the flash drive upside down.
My complaint is that you should not be able to insert a USB flash drive into a computer - or DPF - upside down. I’ve never had another USB drive or USB cable that I could insert upside down.
I hang these DPFs onto the wall of my bathroom, and look at the pictures while I’m shaving each morning and brushing my teeth each night. Thus, they are mounted about six feet up on the wall. Many DPFs ago, I drilled holes in the wall, put plastic inserts and screws there, and tried to hang the DPF onto the screws by feel. That’s surprisingly hard to do. If your screws are off by even a fraction of an inch, you will find (as I did) that you can’t get the damn mounting holes on the frame to align with the screws. It’s also very hard to even find the mounting holes on the back of the DPF when everything is out of sight and out of reach behind the thing. I solved this problem by taking two wall-mounting picture hooks and connecting them with about a foot of picture-hanging wire. I put the hooks in the mounting holes on the DPF, and hang the wire over the wall-mounted screws. It allows me to hang one of these DPFs in seconds. I’m surprised that a DPF manufacturer doesn’t include one with the product.
Send me an e-mail (Moi@BobLeahy.com), and I’ll send you a picture of my setup. It really will make your life a lot easier.
I have found that these DPFs last about two years, so don’t think, “I won’t bother. I’ll hang the blasted thing up on the wall screws and never have to think about it again.” Wrong! It will take you a lot of work (1) to drill the wall screws EXACTLY the RIGHT distance apart, (2) to try to get the wall screws to line up with the DPF mounting holes - when you can’t see or feel them, and (3) you’re probably going to have to do this again in two years.
Top reviews from other countries

Upon receipt I was surprised at how large the 8" screen looked - it was bigger than I was expecting and the quality of the image just blew my older frames screen out the water! The screen quality is (IMO) right up there with an iPad screen. Menu's are VERY clear and well presented, lots of options and a handy remote which worked really well. Dead simple to work ... its really been thought out well. The sensor worked brilliantly too and the quality of the frame itself, like the screen, was top notch! If you have a lot of photos like me, I don't think the money spent is wasted on something like this ... its great for bringing back memories!
Ultimately I was so impressed that I also purchased the 10" widescreen version (on Amazon sale at only £79!). The size difference is noticeable and if you're not sure which to buy, money aside, I'd say go for the 10". That said, it is a lot more than the 8" model so value for money wise, the 8" wins by a mile. But if you can get the 10" for under £100 I'd go for that. At the end of the day though, you won't be disappointed with either ... and some may even prefer the smaller 8" model as it looks like a more regular photo frame size.
The 15" was appealing at the sale price but I think once you get past 10", the frames start to look more like small (HIGH QUALITY) screens rather than photo frames. I can imagine the 15" would look massive on a small table, so here an 8" or 10" would be better. I guess it depends on how 'On View' you want your pictures to be.
Finally, the frame also played movie clips shot by my smartphone and digital camera no problem (with or without sound - you can select) .... a great touch I thought!
Hope my review helps ... if you're looking for a digital frame I'd skip the rest and just go for this! Note the attached pictures don't show how good the screen really is.

technical photographic knowledge requirements to give to someone in their mid-80s. Noticing that the calendar and clock needed setting up I turned to Settings to do this and the date and time stayed obstinately where they had been set before I received the unit. Next I discovered that the USB flash drive inserted was displaying the first few photos very nicely (no complaints about picture quality) but was returning to the beginning again on a sort of loop, rather than continuing on to display the rest of the photos on the flashdrive. When I turned to Settings again, somehow or other the frame had switched itself into German language mode, and since I do not read more than a word or two of German I was completely unable to extract myself from what was becoming a time-consuming nightmare. After sleeping on it, I decided that life is definitely too short to spend even more of my sparse free time on trying to get this gadget to work. I had read a number of the reviews before purchase, and was particularly impressed by the one in which the unit had been bought for an elderly relative suffering from dementia, and seemed to testify to the simplicity of operation. Simplicity of operation was the complete reverse of what I experienced, so yet another packing up and dispatch back to Amazon,, precious time wasted, and little hope of finding the straightforward plug & play frame I was hoping to buy.

This item is widescreen rather than 4:3 so will not suit every photographer. I prefer longer-thinner photos so it suits me (I have another screen for 4:3 shots). Image transition is fast - but I've resized every image to fit the screen resolution so the processor is not having to work very hard.
Good things are working motion sensors, shuffle mode, good selection of image hold times and auto on-off timers. It should play video with sound; I've not tried and got no interest whether or not it does. A nice touch is including a small USB stick in the box making setting up the screen very easy (it takes SD cards too). Has a small remote though there are controls built into the base of the unit.
I doubt this frame would work on a wall as the stand is built into the base. Its stable on a mantelpiece.
I have one of Nix's earlier screens which I'd describe as okay. This screen however is definitely in the good category.

Best feature is that it seamlessly plays photos and videos (all formats so far).
Great images.
Tinny sound though on some of the videos, hence 4 stars.
UPDATE Increased rating to 5 stars because I solved the tinny sound problem. Convert all videos to mp4 (I use Wondershare vieo converter free and Windows 10 free Movie maker)
I'm also thinking of getting a small external speaker to plug in to the headphones socket.
UPDATE Reduced rating to 4 stars again because it freezes. Apparently there is a fix. I'll contact Nix to see if it works. This phot frame is for my mother, who has dementia. I visit every week or so, which means that when it freezes she is without her photos.
