great present December 26, 2007
Grandmother was very happy with this product, one of the best gifts that you can give. Not a all difficult to load pictures however it does not say you need to purchase an SD chip on which to load pictures.
so far, so good.....nice screen/resolution December 21, 2007
I am giving this as a Christmas gift and tested it out by putting some photos on a 32mb XD card. All the photos are displaying bright and clear. Really nice! I have not tried it with music and probably will not until after the gift recipient opens it up. But so far, everything looks great. I will update this comment if down the line the frame fails to perform. The actual viewing screen size is 6"high x 8.2"wide, and 10" diaganol. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it doesn't have any internal memory so you do have to use some other media card. But I got mine for $129, so I'm really happy about that. If the price ever drops down to that price again, I will purchase another one for myself since this one is for a gift.

I'm using this just as a slide show viewer (no music) for an elderly person in a nursing home. I just dumped loads of photos on a media card, stuck it in the frame, and worked like a charm.
I agree with one reviewer, it would be good to have a timer on it, but minor point.
Easy to operate & pictures are good (well only as good as the originals). Would be a great gift for a homebound person. I would recommend if eyesight is poor, to use closeups of faces --
 Horrible Picture December 19, 2007

After reading the reviews here, I purchased this digital picture frame. I resized all pictures to be loaded to the 640x480 resolution of the frame as recommended. The picture quality was terrible, washed out and not sharp at all. I took the memory card with the pictures I had used out to the stores during the holiday crunch and plugged it in to several other models in stores to verify no error on my end (other frames presented the pictures fine).
Not recommended!
Great Product for the Price! December 19, 2007

After several days of Internet research and a visit to local camera and department stores to visually inspect other units, I purchased the Portable USA 10.4-Inch Digital Picture Frame (PU10W). I was looking for something my mother, who lives in California, could easily use to view pictures of her grandchildren in Maine. I also wanted the frame to accept pictures from my other siblings, who are located around the globe, and from my mothers digital camera. That means being able to re-size and display photographs from older digital cameras using less than 1MP and from my new 12MP Nikon.
I had the product shipped to Maine so that I could wrap it for Christmas with an SD card full of pictures. I also wanted to check out just how easy the product would be to use. I was able to transfer pictures from a 12MP, 4MP, 1MP, and an old 650x480 format digital camera without going to the computer to resize or reformat the pictures. All the pictures were instantly displayed from a 16MB SD card inserted into the appropriate slot in the frame.
Although the instructions/documentation booklet provided with the unit is perhaps a little light, the device seems intuitive to use, with the controls placed in easy to reach locations and large enough so that I didn't need a paperclip to operate them. I got it set up and displaying pictures in a matter of minutes - most of that time spent reading the instruction manual. The only problem I had with the unit was keeping the AC power cord attached to the units jack. The plug easily slides in and out of the jack located on the side of the frame ... too easily. Picking the frame up is enough to dislodge the plug and cause loss of power. I turned off the unit plugged it back in and turned it back on - working again, but you have to leave the unit alone.
The unit appears to have good picture quality, with decent resolution and great contrast. I did not see any distortion of picture subject matter due to in-frame-re-sizing. Colors were vivid and bright. I was very pleased with what I saw. The unit is not easily viewed from obtuse angles. You will want to face the unit head on to see the pictures in all their glory.
PROS:
- Features (size, a choice of display frames, internal memnery, ability to display pictures from a wide variety of digital cameras, ease of use, apparent quality of construction).
- Price, Price, Price (paid $149 with free shipping).
CONS:
- AC jack won't stay attached to frame.
All together, the unit has an impressive array of features that I could not find on units costing much much more. The most important of these was the ability of the unit to accept and display pictures from multiple digital cameras without having to fuss with a computer or some other third-party software. The unit is attractive, comes with two choices of frame, and does what I wanted it to do with ease.
