I am very pleased with this digital frame. I think that Philips made it very easy to navigate with the different menus and settings. I did get stuck a couple of times. However, once I looked-up my little "snags" in the manual (from the enclosed CD) I was able to remedy my problems. For example I couldn't figure out how to set-up the automatic timer. After looking it up, I learned that instead of saying "turn on/off" it said "start/end dim." I think it's a strange way to phrase the feature but non-the-less it did the job.
I was frustrated when I tried to download pictures from my computer to the frame's internal memory. After fiddling around for a bit, I discovered that you can't download pictures from the computer directly to the frame. Instead, the frame acts more like a memory card reader and the pictures from the computer will be downloaded to the memory card inserted in the frame. After I put the pictures onto my memory card, I was able to go in and transfer the photos from my memory card to the internal memory. I would have liked to be able to download directly without the memory card but the extra step doesn't take that much extra time. Though I rarely use the internal memory. I'd rather display pictures from my memory cards and thumb drive because they store more pictures and usually those pictures are more recent than the pictures on the internal memory. And that way I don't have to display the lame baby picture (the one everyone else has mentioned).
Overall, I give the frame an A. I like the feature (I think it's called radiant color) that bleeds the colors of a picture to the edge of the frame on pictures that don't fit the wide screen size. Most frames have black bars on the edges for pictures that are too small. I am also very pleased with the color and quality of the pictures when they are being displayed. And I love the piano black polished finish - I think it is very sleek and classy.
Very happy with it September 17, 2008

I purchased two as gifts. I found the picture quality to be excelent. Good 800 by 600 dpi resolution. I had no problem loading pictures and viewing both thru a 1 gig SD card and the usb connection. I had a little trouble navigating the menu but then I only looked at the instructions for about one minute. Once I figured it out it was easy enough. I really liked the range of times available for the slide viewing, from 5 seconds to 1 day. I liked the auto shutoff feature. I did have a little trouble with copying pictures over. Seems like I had to create subfolders in order for all the pictures to copy over. But once over they all displayed. It does not bring a remote or play video or sound but I did not want those features anyway. Over all I'm very happy and will probably buy one for myself soon.
This is so cool! November 26, 2008

This is my first digital photo frame, even tho I've looked at them and thought they would be neat to have. I love the black and clear frame and the frame stand is classy. The whole frame looks elegant.
It took me a while to figure out the setup and how to work the controls to get where I wanted. It has settings for brightness, language, alarm clock, time and date, and auto on/off. After I got it set up I put a 1gb SD card in my PC and installed photos on it and then put the SD card into the photo frame (it also takes other types of memory cards). Fortunately all my photos are JPG and that's the format that's used. As soon as I inserted the SD card the photo slide show started; it was so cool! I ended up changing the brightness to mid way because some of the photos looked too bright. Smaller photos are framed in a letterbox and they look good to me.
I'm excited to show off our photos on Thanksgiving and Christmas when the family is here! :-)
Great Product for a reasonable price... November 26, 2008

I have to say - I love this frame. The quality of the display is excellent. I didn't expect my pictures to look so good! I had purchased a digital frame last year from a different manufacturer and I ended up returning it because the pictures looked distorted and the color was not that great. This frame really suprised me with the quality of the pictures and the vibrant colors that it displays.
I love taking pictures with my digital camera but I am not so good about getting them printed in a timely manner. This solves my problem because I can just snap some shots and then insert the memory card into the frame and enjoy my pictures instantly! It is also great because I can bring up old pictures that I haven't seen in a while and put them on display. There are so many possibilities!
This would make an excellent gift for a grandparent - you can either download photos or insert a memory card. I recommend giving the frame to a grandparent and then sending updated memory cards every so often for new pictures! It would also be great to put up on your desk at work so you can always have something new to look at.
The set up is so quick and easy - you don't really even need the directions (although if you do, they are very detailed). Great buy, can't go wrong with this one!

The negative reviews made me somewhat apprehensive, but I found the frame to be exactly what I was hoping for. Uploading photos is as easy as putting them on an SD card. Adjusting photo size to completely fill the frame is simple and a non-issue. If you know how to competently use a computer, this frame should be no problem for you.
Display clarity was better than expected. All in all, a good product at a great price.
