Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Philips 6.5-Inch Digital Picture Frame (Wood)
Customer Review: Best digital frame out there!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have/had digital frames from three different vendors and the Philips is by far the best product on the market today. The screen is very bright and crisp. Photos look better on this frame than most flat panel computer monitors. The whole thing exudes quality.
It's fairly easy to operate out of the box. I don't think I even looked at the manual to get it up and running.
A couple jpgs mysteriously gave it a problem and the slideshow would hang. It must have been some kind of file corruption, because I re-saved the jpgs on my PC, re-transferred to the memory card and it displays them fine.
I've heard many people say this makes a great gift for grandparents. True, but no matter what age, this is a must have. Forget putting your favorite pictures on your PC desktop...they get covered up anyway. Buy this frame for your desk, you'll be happy you did. I'm getting another when they come back in stock!
Customer Review: Awesome frame!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought 3 of these Philips frames in the past month for gifts. They are awesome. No trouble with any of them. I read a lot of reviews before hand which was very helpful and made my experience with the frames trouble-free. The best way (which I read from someone else) to put photos on, is to buy the $9 all-in-one card reader (USB device) which reads a variety of memory cards. This acts like a little hard drive then. Put all your photos on the card in a folder (not on the main level or root). Then insert the card into the frame and you are done! No problems at all! I did not copy any of the photos onto the frame memory, only the card, so I can edit my library whenever I want easily from my computer and dump the new library on the card.
I prefer the Metal frame also, the wood frame is plastic, it looks kind of cheazy and very disappointing. They should describe to you its painted plastic, NOT wood at all! Otherwise very happy so far!
Customer Review: a great family gift
Summary: 5 Stars
i recently gave this to a family member for the holidays as a gift.
she has an extensive file of photographs which have languished in archive folders. now we have the ability to enjoy them.
we scanned all her folders into digital .JPG format photos and loaded them into a 2 GB SD memory card for this photo frame to show.
note - the photo to photo fades and transistions Philips included in the default mode are quite interesting in their own right. the display is magnificent and everyone who has seen it comments favorably.
one new use we found for it was to play it on the table at a family get together dinner... seeing so many photos leads to a new level of interaction and fun which we all enjoy. it's a great family gift.
we used to do this with a laptop, but that got a little more complicated.
this is plug and play.
Customer Review: If all you want is to display photos, this is an excellent frame!
Summary: 5 Stars
The display on the frame gives excellent photo quality, which is the number one concern for me. It's useful to note that the aspect ratio of the display is 3:2, which fits photos you took from your digital SLR perfectly. That's the way I think it should be. If you load photos from a point&shoot camera on the frame (4:3 ratio) without cropping, There will be slim areas of black on either side of the picture.
The frame provides some auto on/off function that allows you set the time. Personally I would prefer an ambient ligth sensor that will brighten the display as the room gets brigher, and dim as the room gets darker. Controls and adjusting are well done. The frame is good quality and classy. Exactly what I expected, nothing less.
Make sure you pick up an SD card, as the internal memory fills up fast (even if you downsize the pictures).
Customer Review: A bit more $, but a lot more "awesome"
Summary: 5 Stars
This photo frame is unbelievable. I had been searching for a frame in the $120 price range for my grandparents, but was not satisfied with the screen resolution or the ease of use. I anted up for this one and it was 100% worth it. Among the features that I love:
-On Screen Navigation
-Drag & Drop photos with a USB cable
-Auto-orientation of pictures
-Pictures do not "stretch to fit" and end up distorted like some other frames
-The on/off timer-- I have it set to turn on at 7:45 am and turn off at 10:30 pm
-It holds about 80 photos without a memory card, but has the ability to use an additional memory card for more capacity.
-The clarity of the phots are unbelievable.
-It's sturdy. I dropped it when loading photos and it didn't break.
I highly recommend this if you are in the market.
