 Frustrating and disappointing December 25, 2006
9 out of 11 found this review helpful
Wanted to give this to my mother for Christmas. I've spent two days trying to get it to work (and I'm a computer geek). On the phone with Philips three times - have uninstalled, reinstalled, firmware upgrade - tried four different USB ports - It just plain won't transfer pictures.
It's a BEAUTIFUL item - resolution terrific, but I don't want to look at their sample pix - I want to look at mine. : - )
Will send to Philips - but they will only exchange. Once the kinks are worked out, this will probably be a wonderful item, but too late for me and it is EXPENSIVE.
Huge Disappointment December 24, 2006

- NOT Mac compatible (but I tried on our PC as well and was less than impressed)
- the user friendly "auto run" program was hopelessly complicated
- includes a "quick start guide", but no manual....that's on the disc that is not Mac compatible
Very nice but pricey gift that has learning curve December 17, 2006

This is a very nice gift for relatives who complain about not having enough pictures of you and your family. It's easy to use, it saves shelf space, and the beauty of it is, you can set it up for your grandma so that she doesn't have to fuss with it (not that she would want to). All she has to do is turn the frame on and off.
I'm giving this frame as a gift, so I loaded up around 30 pictures from my PC. The software to do this -- it's called Photo Manager -- is basic and no-frills. It is a drag-and-drop application which grandma could probably learn to use. The picture frame is recognized by your PC as a USB storage device; copying picture files over is very easy and fast.
The frame itself is pretty nice. It doesn't look or feel like cheap wares. I didn't bother with the other color frames; I just stuck to the metal-looking one. More importantly, the screen is pretty good, not perfect, but pretty darn good. I tested it on maximum brightness, and although some of the JPEGs looked too saturated, I wasn't looking at the frame in full daylight conditions. A note though: I also resized all my pictures in Photoshop to 480x720 (portrait mode) before loading them into the frame's memory. The pictures looked great.
The frame's control interface leaves a lot to be desired. It's easy enough to use once you get the hang of it: the buttons on back basically act as up, down, left, right, confirm. But tech-phobe grandma won't be attempting to change the settings. The interface is just not intuitive enough, and the buttons are kind of small for those who lack dexterity or have arthritis.
I still definitely recommend this frame as a gift if you have money to burn and want to wow the old folks with digital technology. I suspect that digital frames will become more popular, so let's hope the quality improves.
Good, but it takes some learning December 16, 2006

I gave this as a gift to someone, but I loaded photographs on it before I gave it. The visual quality is really nice looking, but it did take me much longer than I thought to learn the user interfaces of the unit and the included CD software. Nice looking once you get it up and going, but it takes longer to get it set up then you might think.
 great image, user friendly December 14, 2006

got this for an in-law, so I wanted to make sure I could show them how to set it up. It was so easy I never finished reading the instructions. Being able to use the USB cord that comes with it to plug it right into the computer and transfer in photos (just like transferring to a jump drive) made my life very easy. Lots of settings for scrolling through pictures (how quickly, which pictures, what "effect" to use in the transition"). I'm a fan, hope they like it!
