 Crisp and Cute May 3, 2008
The best thing about the frame is its resolution. Make sure you check the resolution of whatever frame you're considerng purchasing. This smaller frame looks much better than bigger (6 or 7 inch) frames with lower resolution. Even high quality pictures look stupid on bigger screens with less pixels per inch. I'm getting this one as a gift for a high school graduation.
 Great Frame May 2, 2008
This little frame is great. I bought it when it was on the GB deal, so I got a great price on it. It's extremely easy to use, I just dragged and dropped my pictures from my computer to the frame and clicked the features I wanted (slideshow, no collages, random transitions) and away it went. The timer feature is great too - it automatically turns on about the time I get to work and turns off around the time I leave and it never comes on during the weekend. I'd buy another one to give as gifts or for my husband's desk if the deal comes up again. The picture quality is quite good, and the images are about the size of a normal 4x6 photograph.
 Crashes, displays improperly--DO NOT BUY May 2, 2008
This product was a complete disappointment and waste of time. My wife and I bought one for each set of parents with the hope of mailing them an SD card with pictures of grandchildren every few months. Imagine our disappointment when the frame failed to work. It simply can't handle the JPEG files we give it. They're straight from the camera, untouched, except that some have been rotated in Mac OS X's photo import tool.
Here's what happens. When we start the slideshow, some pictures are displayed on their sides rather than properly. If we rotate the photo frame, the pictures rotate so that they stay on their sides! And then when we push the menu button, the whole frame freezes up. It has to be unplugged and plugged back in to get it working again. Obviously not the hands-off easy display for the grandparents we were hoping for.
From the other reviews, it's clear that the frame works for some people... but you should AVOID THIS FRAME because there's no way of telling if it will work for you. We have to send both back--it just doesn't work. This is unacceptably poor quality for a big name company like Philips. We won't be buying from them again.
(Oh, and the Philips product support web site was no help. I downloaded and installed their firmware upgrade, but it made no difference, and there was no mention of any problems on the site.)
 Has problems with some JPEG files April 30, 2008

I bought this frame because it was inexpensive and I wanted to see how useful a digital frame could be. Overall, it's a nice looking frame and while the interface isn't as simple as it could be, you can play around with it for a while and figure most of the functions out without having to look at the manual. For me, the reason I only gave it 2 stars is because it only supports JPEG images and even then, only supports some of them. If you're like me, you've collected a lot of images from your digital cameras, email, the web, etc and have folders of things that might be fun to display in a frame. I decided to load some up on a Compact Flash card to view them on the frame and that's when the problems started. It seems that this frame is very particular about what kind of images it will display. Even if they are JPEGs, some will not display. In fact, they seem to confuse the frame. In thumbnail view, I get little X's in place of thumb nails even though it also displays a thumbnail of the image. So if I have 25 images, I get 25 thumbnails and 25 blank thumbnails with an X. It appears that if JPEG's have been manipulated through Photoshop or other imaging programs, they might not be easily recognizable by the frame. During the slideshow, sometimes it plays them, other times it does not. I've tried to figure out what about the images is different but haven't been able to determine a cause. All I know if that if I take a memory card directly from the camera and put it in the frame, it works as expected. If I use images from other sources or manipulated images, it becomes much more troublesome. The manual actually alludes to this problem but doesn't really clarify what JPEG settings cause the problem. It says it supports progressive images but will display them slowly, otherwise they just indicate there could be problems. So, long story short, the frame works great if you have a camera that saves images in JPEG format and you put the images on the frame just as they came out of the camera. If you want to use it to display other file formats or images from other sources like the web or email, this isn't the frame for you. I know Sony's new frames support RAW, TIFF, BMP and JPEG and I'm sure some of the higher end Philips frames do too. Just make sure you know about this limitation and if that's a show stopper for you.
This picture frame rocks! April 29, 2008
I bought this picture frame as a GBD a couple of weeks ago. Now, when I got it, I had just returned from trips to NYC and Biloxi, MS- and I had many pictures that I wanted to show off to friends and family. After sitting for a while working with the frame, I managed to put my pics from my memory card to the internal memory- although I know I could have just left them on the memory card and played it from that.
Some reviews have complained about the color- the white does not bother me- I may add some details to the frame, since I am a scrapbook person, but the white looks nice against my dark bookshelves.
The size was a small concern for me- but once I actually started using the frame- I really like the size. I might would enjoy a bigger one, but am happy with the size of the frame.
The price was right for me, espeically becasue I had been considering getting a knock-off frame, until I heard about all the problems people were having. But, if I needed another one- the price still is not bad for the quality of the product.
