Customer Reviews
Great picture quality 
2008-05-31
Good quality picture, fairly easy to use once you figure out the glitch with large photo files. I tried using the USB to my computer with normal size photos, kept getting corrupted files. Finally I downloaded to CF card and moved them to frame that way. Found out later from another review that the files needed to be smaller to work with USB. Daughter-in-law loved the gift frame.
Good picture quality but lots of issues 
2008-05-30
The picture quality is good. Bright, good contrast and nice color. However there are other issues with this photo frame:
1. The advertised panel resolution is 800x480. However, it turns out that the actual "displayable" resolution is only 720x480. I noticed that the specification indicates "effective viewing area" of 9.4" versus the "LCD size" of 10.2" but there is nothing about "effective resolution". 720x480 is not much better from 640x480 while 800x480 sounds close to 800x600.
2. The provided Photo Manager software and the "Smart Photo Storage" firmware crops/scales the pictures to 720x560 pixels only. So, when displayed, the "effective resolution" of 720x480 will crop out the top and bottom part of the picture, totally out of control.
3. The Photo Manager software will only save the cropped picture back to the same folder as the original picture by adding the letters "- new' at the end of the file name. So, after converting hunderds of files, it takes you long time to dig out the "new" pictures ONE-BY-ONE and move them out to memory card or to the photo frame. If the converted output can be saved into a different folder instead of the original one, all it needs will be selecting all files in the new folder instead of looking for them one-by-one.
4. The viewing angle is advertised as 110 degrees vertical. In fact it's about 80 degrees. To make it worse, it's not +/-40 degrees. Instead, it's -5, +75 degrees. That means if you put the frame on a shelf and sit down, you will only see very dark display.
5. Slideshow management is a joke. First of all, whatever slideshows created cannot be played automaticaly. Each time the frame is turned on, you have to go through the length menu to select the show to start. Even if a show is set to "All albums", it will only show pictures in the built-in memory. Pictures in the memory cards are not shown until you go to set up menu and go through the complicated steps again to select CF and start the show again. (You have to do this EVERY TIME). If the internal memory has no pictures, the unit will just get stuck when you want to start "Slideshow" by pressing the "Start Slideshow" button without selecting the memory card first. (There was once that it has got so stuck that no buttons will work - even the power button will not work. I had to reset the unit throught the "reset" hole).
6. It supposed to be able to turn on/off automatically with the preset timers. However, the auto on/off only works if you have left the frame on and let it turn off by itself at the "auto off" time. If you had turn off the frame manually, it will never automatically turn on.
Perfect present 
2008-05-24
I gave this frame as a present and it is a HUGE hit. Relatively easy to use. Has some great features including the sepia tones and cropping. Good size memory. It's great to be able to just take the memory card from the camera and put it in the back of the frame.
Amazing Quality and Very Elegant Digital Photo Fram 
2008-05-22
I have to say that I am extremely please with this photo frame and the pictures on the web don't do this frame justice. The picture quality is amazing and the transitions between pictures is very creative and add to the enjoyment.
The software provided to convert the pictures on your computer to size required by the photo frame is very easy to use and allows for cropping and small minor modifications to the pictures prior to saving them to the photo frame or media card. The menus on the picture frame itself take a little getting use to but once you figure it out it's all good, there is a manual provided on the cd. One additinal feature you don't find on most photo frames is the internal battery, a nice touch for when you want to move or pick it up to show some one in another room, it lasts about an hour.
Another nice touch is the ability to set the frame to come "on" and turn "off" for three different times for weekdays and two for weekends. No need to run the frame when your not home or at work.
Wow! 
2008-05-16
I am really pleased with this product. It was very easy for this non-techie to use and is one of the better looking digital frames that I have seen. I especially appreciate the ease with which I can drag and drop the photos stored on my pc to the digital frame. The battery capability is also great for displaying the frame without ugly cords!
Bought for my Parents 
2008-06-28
I bought this digital picture frame for my parents who are not technically savvy. They have a difficult time with the controls as I did setting it up for them. The unit has some nice features that are menu driven but the problem is that you cannot set up a slideshow to see each time it is turned on. You have to setup whatever you want to see each time you turn it on. I would have hoped they could use the auto ON-OFF feature to resume where they were before. Other than that, the unit displays pictures nicely and has the automatic feature of picture orientation whether you have the frame setup landscape or poratrait on a table. The SD card appears to only able to be programmed if loaded from a computer. In other words, if you just load pictures from a camera or computer, but do not set them up with the special software, you are not able to program them into a useful slideshow.
Worth it 
2008-06-09
This is my second Philips digital frame purchase. The first was a smaller frame w/ changeable plastic frame borders. I find the control buttons on this metal frame a little more user friendly. The software for each frame are not compatible; the current program was an updated version. So, I had to delete the software for the smaller frame & upload the new one. The new one has some nice added features for editing the photos. This was a gift for my parents across the country after I had uploaded all the photos. I don't consider them as the most digital-tech savvy. I thought I would have to walk them through step-by-step to get it started over the phone. But, I was pleasantly surprised to hear that it was set up & showing the slideshow when I talked to them.
Looks pretty good 
2008-06-07
Picture frame and pictures really look good. Loading pictures on to the frame is easy (it holds 1000 pictures and you can put them into different albums). What I miss is a remote to change albums and start the slideshows. Battery does not last too long, 1/2 hr max.
Philips 10.2-inch Digital Photo Frame 
2008-06-07
Very clear images. Can be difficult to transfer saved pictures from your computer to phrame depending on what picture program you have. Kodak(what I have)for example does not want to let me perform the transfer. If you have the SD cards works excellent.
