 First impressions: Good quality, very satisfied April 9, 2008

I bought this item when it was offered in gold box lightning deals for fifty. It arrived yesterday and have only spent very little time with it so far. Here are my first impressions and if anything significant comes up in the next few days, I will update this review.
The frame is not widescreen - which is a good thing. You see, most cameras capture pictures in 4:3 ratio and it makes no sense to display them in a widescreen format. Secondly, for the same size (diagonal measure), a 4:3 screen has more surface area than a widescreen format. Finally, you don't need to process your pictures.
I had a 16 MB SD card (that came with a Canon camera) which is really useless for me. So, I thought I try loading some pictures onto it and try the frame. I copied some pictures from my computer without any editing. I copied some pictures after cropping them to a random size, but 4:3 ratio. I copied some pictures by reducing the images to 100 PPI resolution. They all looked fine on the picture frame. The picture frame passed the biggest test I was really concerned with.
Below are the technical specs:
Display size: 112.9 mm x 84.67 mm (4.44 x 3.33 inch)
Total pixels: 640 x 480
Density: 140 pixels per inch
Power consumption: 4.3W
Power adapter (2-prong) is small and can support 100 - 220 V and hence can be used in many countries. To me, that is a plus.
Frame comes with a quick reference manual, but the full manual is on the supplied CD. CD also contains Windows compatible picture manager software. Unfortunately, the frame manual is in Flash Paper format and a Macro Media Flash application menu displays one page a time. You can print individual pages, but you can't print all the pages at once. I wish they also supplied a PDF manual. They supplied a PDF manual for picture manager software, though.
Every time I turned the frame on, it went straight to the menu. I wish it went to a slideshow by default. There may be a way to accomplish that, but I couldn't figure out in the few minutes I got to work with it. I also have yet to figure out how to make my slideshow default, not the one Philips has supplied.
You can display a small digital clock during the slideshow. I like that feature.
The frame can detect pictures with portrait orientation (vertical). In that case, you can show other pictures in the black vertical bars on the sides of the main picture in a collage form. Very nice.
Pictures must be JPEG.
No videos.
No music.
There is USB port for connecting to computer (to manage the 32MB internal memory), but there is no USB port for flash drives.
Too much packing material.
A USB cable is supplied.
An elaborate menu system is available. So, it looks like you can adjust every little aspect of your frame and your slideshow. But, obviously, you don't necessarily have to deal with it as I was able to display my slideshow without much hassle. In short, user friendly, but has vast functionaly for configuration.
Random transition between the slideshow pictures showed a variety of interesting transitions.
Overall quality exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend the product.
Update:
I found the frame manual on the Internet. Look at the first comment for the URL.
I am super picky!!!!!! this blows me away! April 9, 2008

Bought this on gold box for 49.00 and was not expecting much....boy was i wrong this thing is amazing and just the right size, i did not want a frame that was large, and this is perfect, very well made, and very modern looking.
set up in 5 minutes without looking at the instructions, one feature i love is the time setting, you can set it to go one and off at certain times, really like that! One for weekdays and one setting for weekends.
Color is very crisp and sharp, this is the best buy i have got all year, you have to give it a try!!!!!!!
The Depth of the screen is great.......just need a lil more inches April 8, 2008
