GREAT FOR THE PRICE
os:
Windows XPbought 3 of theese i think they are excellent for the money picture is very good and clear thinking of buying another one well done ebuyer
Review
os:
Windows XPI bought the Silver version, but they are all the same with different Bezel. The Resolution is 800x450 (16:9 or 1.778:1 aspect Ratio). Visible screen just a touch over 10inches. The picture quality is excellent, crisp, bright and well defined. The display is excellent quality, although the software is a little buggy. No need to resize photos, just dump a thousand or so original pictures onto a £10 2GB USB stick and way to go. My Photos are traditional 4:3 aspect ratio, so you can either view in 4:3 mode with black bars down the sides or 16:9 mode where the display automatically zooms and crops, or a 16:9 stretch mode. Would be 5 stars but lose a star for buggy V1.0 software and poor documentation.
Good Display, but.......problem update
os:
Windows XPMy review (anonymous, I did give a name but wasn't logged in) was about problems with files made by Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.
I have tried saving edited jpg images with two different photo editing programmes (Serif6 and Photo! Editor) and the problem has gone, so Elements was to blame, not the photoframe.
Therefore, upgrade to 4 stars.
Extra Value Hi-Res Digital Frame
os:
Windows XPI bought the silver version of this, having read the reviews and decided this seemed to be the best compromise on size, features and cost.
Usual (in my experience) excellent delivery by Ebuyer and works straight out of the box. Excellent display. As noted by others, the software documentation is not good at all and printed very poorly to compound the problem. I cannot find any choice of aspect ratio other than 4:3 and 16:9. Either it's not there or I haven't found the auto re-size and crop to enable immediate 16:9 display of photos taken in 4:3 ratio.
Remote is very useful but very flimsy.
Fast Screen Wipes, and Photo Switching
os:
Windows XPHi,
I bought this digi frame a couple of weeks ago. The quality of the pciture is very good, and certainly the cheapest 10" screen I could find. Ebuyer were excellant on delivery.
BAD NEWS
The handbook/manual is not worth the paper it is written on.
The software is 'buggy' but relatively easy to setup.
QUESTION
Has anyone found a way to vary the timer on how quick the photos rotate through?.... The software indicates 'fast/medium/slow' and even on the slow setting, they appear to change every 10 seconds... so my 1Gb card goes through about 350 photos in an hour or so!
Another frame I have, there is the option to change the photo daily, hourly weekly etc etc.
Any help much appreciated.
Kind regards
Mark
Good Display, but....
os:
Windows XPI've bought this from Ebuyer (brilliantly and correctly delivered with other items within 18 hours, even on supersave free option postage. How Ebuyer have improved in the last couple of years!!)
The photoframe works out of the box giving clear pictures. There are limitations, however.
1. Assumimg most people will be using 4:3 cameras, the photoframe by default dislays in 16:9 stretched. Immediate pressing of the 4:3 option will be needed for a true display (black bars down the side). Zoom is good and you can pan across the magnified image.
2. Unedited Jpeg images loaded straight onto a USB stick display perfectly. However, any jpeg image edited and resaved using Adobe Photoshop (Elements 2 in my case) cannot be read by this photoframe, which displays a "cannot read file" logo. To be fair, my DVD players react in precisely the same way with images put on a CD-R and I have no idea how to overcome this. (Any ideas anyone?) The result is I cannot level off horizons, or correct verticals on buildings or do any cropping before transferring newly saved images to the USB stick for use on this photo frame. I have tried to resave carefully in 4:3 aspect to see if this will work, but no.
The instruction booklet is a real joke - bizarre even. Luckily, the setup displays are fairly straightforward to operate despite the limitations of the software. if you're buying for a technophobe, as I was...set it up and tell them to touch nothing!
Overall, the pictures are good (for this resolution), but don't think it compares with any small cheap laptop in picture quality - it doesn't.
I will appreciate advice re. the failure of ex photoshop jpg file refusals, thank you. :-)
(3 stars, but if that problem can be resolved it would be four.)
Answer to the resolution problem
I bought the silver version. The resolution is 800x450 in a 16:9 (1.7778:1) Aspect ratio. The photos are very clear it's a good screen, although the software is a bit buggy.
Resolution?
What's the native screen resolution? Anyone know?
portrait mounting
I would like to mount this portrait. Can the auto rotate be turned off? All the image I intend to put on would be portraits?
Good Display, but.......problem update
A final comment - if using Adobe Photoshop, or any other image editing software, be sure you are saving in jpeg baseline standard, or jpeg baseline optimised format. The photo frame does NOT support jpeg PROGRESSIVE. Problem resolved....give the frame 4 stars!
