Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Philips 10.2-inch LCD Digital Photo Frame with 9.4-Inch Display (White)Customer Review: Outstanding value in a digital photo frame with 3:2 aspect ratio and good user manual Summary: 5 Stars
This digital photo frame is available on sale from time to time at $100 to $120, and at this price it represents an outstanding value. Using its internal 128 megabyte memory, the photo frame can hold hundreds of photos when they are uploaded to it in JPEG format either at 720 by 480 resolution for display in landscape format, or at 480 by 720 resolution for display in portrait format. The images are bright and clear. The frame can be programmed to turn on and off automatically at preset times. And, conveniently, the photo frame displays photos in a 3:2 aspect ratio that many digital cameras provide. I own two of these frames: one for landscape format and another for portrait format.
Some reviewers have reported difficulties with loading photos onto the photo frame. Their complaints are certainly legitimate because the "Quick Start Guide" that is included with the photo frame does not offer enough detail to really get started. However, a "User Manual" that may be downloaded in PDF format from the Philips web site (similar to the "Digital User Manual" that is provided on the enclosed CD) does provide clear instructions for operating the frame.
There is one minor problem with this photo frame. It has a support leg that in theory can be rotated so that the photo frame can be free standing in either landscape or portrait position. To place the support leg in landscape position, the leg is rotated fully clockwise (as viewed from the back of the frame) until it stops. With the leg in this position, the weight of the frame pushes the leg against a stop, which results in a stable position for the leg. To place the support leg in portrait position, the leg is rotated counterclockwise, but not until it stops. Instead, the leg is rotated until an audible click is heard, at which point portrait position is achieved. With the leg in this position, the weight of the frame does not push the leg against a stop, but rather tends to rotate the leg clockwise towards landscape position, which could cause the frame to fall.
It is possible to lessen the chance of the frame falling by GENTLY prying the 2 inch diameter white plastic cap off of the back of the frame using a flat bladed screwdriver, then GENTLY tightening the underlying bolt using a 4 mm Allen wrench so that the support leg rotates less freely. But I hope that Philips fixes this design flaw in future photo frames.
