Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Philips 6.5-Inch Digital Picture Frame (Wood)
Customer Review: JUNK - DO NOT BUY !!!
Summary: 3 Stars
Junk - ZERO STARS - I can not edit that for some reason ???? Amazon???
SEND IT BACK !!!
Unit crapped out with in Two Weeks of Use.!!!????
Freeze frame on one photo for hours on end.
Blank White and Black frames !!!!!!
Because it has a battery you can't turn it off !??!!
JUNK !!! DON NOT BUY !!!!!
Beautiful picture. With out a doubt - Good Looking !!!!
This is one of the ONLY frames you can connect too with a MAC. ++++
BUT what they don't tell you is that the Frame only has 12mb of built in memory. That raises the price because you MUST buy some kind of memory card to expand the usefulness of this Frame.
These frames should be easy to use - they are not.
These should work like a VCR - load and watch......? Who is the idiot
that programed this ? The menu is not easy - the buttons do NOT work
as explained in the manual.
You Must format the pictures ( to a smaller resolution ) in order to get more than 10 to fit on the frame.
I would rather have bought an old iMac and just set it up for slide show?
Customer Review: Unattractive frame!
Summary: 3 Stars
Note: This review is unrelated to picture quality/user interface/tech attributes. Instead, this review is for people looking for an *attractive* wood digital frame.
I purchased this as a gift with intentions of loading photos onto it before presenting it to the recipient. However, I have returned it for two reasons:
1) The "wood" is not real - in fact, it's not even laminate. The frame surface is thin metal with a wood print on it. In my opinion, it looks fake to the point of being tacky. The "wood" color and grain looks like what you'd see on someone's living room walls in the 70's (i.e. wood paneling).
2) When I peeled the protective label off the LCD surface, it left an unsightly discoloration on the frame where the label overlapped onto the frame (the size of a dime!). What a shame to spend $180 and have a blemished product! I could never give this as as gift.
For anyone looking for a good quality "traditional looking frame" - it doesn't appear to exist yet. I would recommend the metal frame instead.
Customer Review: Good Picture, poor experience.
Summary: 3 Stars
The maual that comes with this frame is almost unreadable on a Mac, which makes it difficult to discover the features. There is no information that tells you how the frame decides on an order for your photographs. Also be aware that it does not make SD cards available to the computer over USB, so you can't use this method to load photos on your card, only the internal memory (which appears to be about 12MB.
So, if you do setup your photos in 720x480 resolution they look GREAT in the frame. As I bought this for my wife to use at her office, it will serve this function well. But it won't be useful for anything else. I was hoping that with the onboard battery she would be able to carry it around and use it like a picture book, but that won't be happening. The controls are slow and basically... stupid, and there is no battery life indicator other than the one that tells you the battery is dead (it turns off... :-)).
So, Photo Quality GREAT. Value POOR.
Customer Review: Works well enough...
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this as a Mother's Day gift. Image transfers from a PC are easy enough, it shows up a USB storage device in Windows.
My only real gripe is the user interface. Although I was able to change the device settings (e.g. transition mode, LCD brightness, etc.), my parents found the interface to be quite confusing since you can't actually see the buttons you'd like to press.
Customer Review: Worked well for me
Summary: 3 Stars
This was a highly recommended picture frame that is working well so far. My roommate and his girlfriend had issues with similar versions from Philips but mine has worked like a charm thus far.
However, i will say their software leaves a LOT to be desired but it works with clunky Copy/Paste.
