Philips 5.6 inch LCD Photo Frame - Great Starter Frame at a Decent Price May 6, 2008
35 out of 36 found this review helpful
The Philips 5.6-Inch Digital Photo Frame (White) is a great value in a relative sense when it comes to the expensive digital frame market. The features are somewhat limited, but the relatively lower price is bound to entice a lot of buyers. I actually prefer the Philips 7-Inch LCD Digital Photo Frame (Black) because of the black frame, slightly larger screen, and USB flash drive compatibility. But if you need a basic starter frame at a low price, this is it.
Pros
+ Great advanced menu functions allow you to control your slideshow
+ Very nice variety of slide-show transitions and collage options
+ Nice memory card slot allows you to connect up a variety of memory cards
+ Memory card slots for Compact Flash I (CF), SD Card, Multi Media Cards (MMC), MiniSD, Memory Stick (MS), and XD Picture Card
+ Convenient timer option turns PhotoFrame on and off at the hours you select
+ USB connection to your computer (to manage the internal memory),
+ Play slideshows, single photo, thumbnails or show clock
+ Nice looking frame design
+ Adequate 32 MB internal memory
+ 640X480 display for nice sharpness
+ Price is right for an entry frame ($50 range)
Cons
- Pictures must be JPEG and work best when in native picture format
- Photos edited in certain software WILL NOT work, even when saved as JPEGs
- JPEG support limited to 16 megapixel and 10MBs files
- The white frame isn't as attractive as the black one on the 7 inch model
- No video playback
- Lacks MP3 music playback for slideshows
- No USB port for flash drives
- Competing alternatives from Sony natively support other image formats (RAW, TIFF, BMP)
- Phillips quality control has been declining; definitely test this within your return period
- Many newer alternatives coming to market which use less power than LCD
The frame comes with a quick reference manual and Windows and Mac software on the included CD. The CD also contains Windows compatible picture manager software. For a full PDF manual you will have to go to the website. There's some kind of menu driven help manual on the CD as well.
But the truth is you don't need a manual really. The built-in menu is really well designed. Not all the settings are on the first screen, but with some searching you can set up almost everything you need.
The frame is listed at a display ratio of 4:3. This means it's compatible with most standard camera formats, including my Nikon and almost all handheld Canon models. Those with wide-format digital cameras will want to look for one of the many widescreen frames to save the step of reformatting.
The optional clock display is another nice extra that makes this frame versatile. This somewhat makes up for the lack of MP3 playback.
The frame also has automatic orientation detection as an option, which rotates pictures from portrait to landscape. There are also collage and thumbnail view options.
This guy doesn't have the native image format support of some of the newer (and much more expensive) frames from Sony. And I'm very nervous about Phillips spotty quality record of late. So far so good. But definitely put this through the paces before your return period expires.
Overall this is a good product at the right price. Hopefully prices will come down over time.
This unit is worth a look.
Enjoy!

Works great. This is my second frame and the clarity is by far the best that I have seen so far.
 Not much storage.. May 5, 2008

I was excited to purchase this frame for my Mom for Mother's day because I thought I would be able to load many pictures--the description says it holds over 100, but did list a storage capacity. Well, I have 12 pictures loaded. It won't take anymore. Also, the display came with a slight scratch. Not a big deal, but certainly less than I expected. I would return it, but it is too close to Mother's Day. I guess she will have to be happy with 12 pics.
Another disappointment--no flash drive port. I had wanted to store pics on my flash, bring to moms, and load on the frame. I cannot do that. Mom does not have a computer--I will have to take her frame home with me to load the pics.
Would not buy again.
Awesome!!! DPF... May 5, 2008

This is great photo frame! Easy to use and the features are fantastic...I purchased this for $49.99 when it was gold box deal of the day. I can say this is the best $49 I have ever spent! This is mothers day gift for my mother in law and I can say she is electronically challenged! But, the simple joystick operation & on/off button is located on the frame---no remove control to fumble with! She will have no trouble w/ the operation; very simple. I have uploaded 50 pictures with the Philips CD program that is provided and it's very easy to crop, edit, and resize your pictures with this program. Very Easy! The internal memory will hold about 150 pictures; I believe this is what the owners guide indicated. The clarity is awesome!!! Pictures are bright, vibrant and clear! I am sold on Philips photo frames. I will never buy any of those "no name" brands again! There is no comparsion! Don't waste your money on those cheaper frames. Get a Philips and you won't be disappointed with the picture quality.
