The bad thing is IT WON'T SHUFFLE. We put on about 100 photos and thought it would be neat to have it shuffle through while sitting on the mantle. It plays them in the order on the card.We returned it and now looking for on that shuffles.
I suspect that I got a older or newer model that is different even though the model number is the same. Default. Definitely not. I chose this model with the expectation that it could be connected to a TV because the "Features" state "Audio/Video Output Connectors", because the description under "Features" states "Audio/Video Output Connectors", and under "Item Includes" is listed an "A/V output cable set" but THERE ARE NONE, no cables, no connectors. After doing a factory reset, the." That's where it ends, i.e., in mid sentence.Slide show starts with the same picture regardless of which one you highlight. The frame did include a USB cable with a normal connector on one end and a mini on the other. I thought there was something wrong with the remote itself until I tried a new battery.
A new one was $6 plus sales tax. I returned it for a refund.Would I recommend it to a friend. Indeed, in the manual under 3-7 "Setup", page 22, there is no instruction on how to do this.Slide show is random based on some criterion that is not apparent. However, there are some instructions missing on page 24 which end with "i. This will reset all settings to factory default mode. This is a HUGE disadvantage if you want to show pictures in chronological order [e.g., of your kids growing up].
There is a "USB Device Port" and a "USB Host Port". NO.Would I buy this again. Pros:Excellent color without being overly saturated or contrasty Can adjust brightness, tint, and contrastFleshtones that are correct in the original image look normal on the screen [not orange like on a TV]Good resolution [assuming your pictures have it]Automatically adjusts for image size and orientationCan adjust slide show picture duration for 3, 5, or 10 secondsOK viewing angleCons:A user interface that is OVERLY COMPLICATED, ostensibly through its attempt to be simple.Extremely POORLY written user manual [some features don't work as described, or are non-existent].Once the power-on state is initially set at first power-on, you are supposed to be able to go back and change it by doing a "Factory Reset" described under 3-7 "Setup". The manual says that the slide show "starts/resumes based on Slideshow Settings in Setup", but there is no setting in the Setup menu that allows you to specify your option. There is no explicit explanation as to whether these are inputs or outputs.The remote's battery was DOA [yes, I removed the protective plastic tab].
The frame is nicer looking then most, a richer look to it. Took awhile to figure out how to load the music. I actually purchased this over a year ago, but hadn't given it a review. The picture is good, sound is good.
I tried to purchase this picture frame from this company and they are shady. I have attempted several times to contact them and cancel my order but they won't respond or answer their phone.My advice to you is to stay away from this company. Do not buy from Worldwide Distributors. They bumped up my shipping cost and charged me almost $30 to ship it USPS Priority Mail.
All the pieces were there - except for the storage chip but I knew that.Loaded it up with photos of her horse and surprised her for her birthday -the wife not the horse. Bought this for a gift for my wife after reading previous comments. Set it to be a clock with picture mode and gave it to her to take to work.My wife loves it.
