Great screen quality, looks better than a paper print! August 9, 2007

Philips is definitely the way to go if you want a digital picture frame. It displays your pictures with amazing clarity and with life like colors. It does what it's supposed to do exceedingly well but no more. It won't play video and the controls/navigation is pretty basic. But it can take all kinds of cards. Before buying this Philips frame I checked out many digital frames including Pandigital, Coby, Axion, Westinghouse etc. in the stores. I almost bought the Pandigital at Costco but I wasn't too excited about the colors and resolution of the screen. Some other frames had added features like mp3 players and could also play back video so I was tempted by those. But finally, I wanted a frame that displayed my pictures with true colors and great clarity and Philips was the clear winner. I am not too crazy about the vertical buttons at the back of the frame, but they allow you to navigate and set up a slideshow. You can choose between some transition effects and the time interval between pics. You can also increase/decrease the brightness and the alignment in portrait or landscape mode. Or you can just display one picture and then manually change it to the next one when you want with the buttons. You don't really need to sync it with your computer. In fact, I'd advise you against that as the software is more cumbersome. Just upload some pictures in a SD card and insert it in the frame slot (with the frame turned off) and switch it on. The pics from your SD card start displaying automatically.
 This is worth bying! October 27, 2007

This item is more expensive than its analogs but it is worth bying. You'll never have any problems with photo format (this Frame has 4:3 whereas most of others have 16:9) and no other problems. I rate it best in digital photo frames.
 Plexiglass Frame Bows November 16, 2007

I can't recommend this digital frame from Philip. After only seven months of displaying the unit on a shelf, the interchangeable frame and the metal bars behind the frame were falling off. The reason was that the Plexiglas frame had bowed.
However, Philips gladly sent me a new one. It cost me to ship it back to them. Since no other reviewer mentioned this same problem, I hope I will not have the same problem in seven months with this new digital frame.
I found it very easy to load pictures on from my computer.
 Loading Picture Problem July 29, 2007

I copied other items with reviews for this product that I wish I would have seen before buying this.
This product has several fundamental engineering flaws, one fatal. If you do not carefully feed it photos (which go into the internal root memory and then are moved into another directory) you can end up with too little transient + permanent space and the unit freezes. The RESET button will not fix this and it must be sent back to Philips, as from that point all you can display is the Philips logo. A second problem involves random freeze-ups in slide show presentations from SD cards (which can be reset). Incidentally, a product returned to Philips under an RMA takes over a month in turnaround time.
Short version: Add pictures at a rate of five or six at a time or you may cause the system fail.
I am having to return this to Philips for a replacement before having viewed any of my pictures. I began by collecting a library of images (86) that I resized to best fit the display. Then I copied the files to the root directory of the frame. The unit then tried to process the images into a display folder so that they could be presented.
The processing reached my 24th picture and hung. It seems that the frame requires space to perform its processing, but attempts to process all of the images from the root folder without cleaning up as it goes. It eventually runs out of space.
Using the RESET function will not clear the unit. The unit has to be returned to Philips for replacement. I noticed (too late) that at least one other person had also reported this problem.
You can load a bunch of pictures in the frame, but don't try to load them all at the same time. Load them in lots of five or six to avoid this problem.
UPDATE: August 5, 2006 - The new system would only run for 20 minutes before shutting itself off. It required a power cycle each time to restart. Last week it would no longer turn on. 60 days of use and it no longer functions. I'll have to start the ugly process of dealing with Philips all over again.

A lot of people like this frame, and I liked it too, at first. But after about a week it went blank and I could not restart or reset it. I was displaying about 3000 JPEGs using a 1 gig memory card. Before it quit for good it exhibited some flaky behavior -- I had to cycle through the different display modes before it would run the slide show. Maybe it doesn't like that many pictures...?
Update: I am more convinced this frame chokes on too many pictures. I bought one for my mom, and set it up with fewer pictures. It worked fine, but as I added more pictures and reached around 900 total it locked up like mine had. I divided the pictures between two memory cards and everything was fine again.
Based on my experience with other frames (see my review of Digital Foci IMT-081 Image Moments Digital Photo Frame), I think this frame is as good as the technology gets, so I would give it another star (but Amazon won't let me). If you have few pictures I think it is a good choice. But it's disappointing that someone can't step up and get this product right.
