| Great picture, VERY easy to use, versatile and attractive. Just the right size. I received the unit with the glass in the additional frame broken and sent an email to PORTABLE USA about a replacement. Received a call within the hour and the problem was resolved to my satisfaction by a knowledgeable and VERY courteous person. I LIKE THIS COMPANY !! |

This a great frame, as everyone states.
As a tip, if you have trouble with your JPEG images that came from Photoshop, you MUST save these as Baseline "Standard" under the format options of the JPEG options. If you use Photoshop, you'll see what I mean.
Just click "Save As..." and be sure JPEG is chosen. When you click the "Save" button, the next small dialog box that pops up are your "JPEG Options". First thing in this dialog box is "Image Options", select whatever quality you want (I always go for the gusto and choose 12, max). Right under that, is "Format Options" with three choices: Baseline ("Standard"), Baseline Optimized, and Progressive, Scans 3, 4, or 5. I noticed that some of my photos (the ones that did not work with this frame, that show up as a fuzzy document icon with a red X emblazoned on it), had been saved as "Progressive" with 3 Scans... If you simply check the Baseline ("Standard") option, your photo will now display on the Photo Frame! Voila...
Hope this helps... sorry I cannot provide the technical reasons behind why the JPEG Progressive Scans don't work! |
Better than I expected!

I got this frame for $149 from Amazon for my Mom. I was was very reluctant since the resolution said it was only 640x480 but, when you load pics on it, they look really good. Only pics from a cell phone are kind of grainy but that's due to the camera in the cell phone. The fact that you can "beam" your pic over to see it on a big screen is great!
I love the fact that this frame is so versatile. SD/MMC/CF no problem. I even attached my 250GB mini hard-drive up and was able to play videos from it as well as play mp3's. Sound is not very good but it works...
The remote is a nice touch and it makes it easy for Mom to find her pics.
Now that I see the price went up $50, I'm really sorry I didn't get myself one...

Looks Like a Winner...

I purchased this for my wife. We haven't yet used all the functions, but the initial set-up couldn't have been easier and it has worked perfectly. The photos all show up very well. The display is bright and visible from any possible viewing angle. Compared to what I've seen in stores like Target, this seems to be a good value in terms of display size and quality.
Update (28 NOV): I paid ~$140 for this. The price seems to have jumped a bit. |
Good BANG for the Buck

| Sent as a present, it continues to perform after 9 months of use. This is a great digital frame for the price paid. |
