Bought, delivered, tried! Basically: This photo frame is a very successful product, but I have to say that I have no possibility of comparison with other devices, since this is my first digital photo frame. Reason for the decision to buy this picture frame, I have long thought about whether you might need a digital photo frame at all and am ultimately come to the conclusion to try it. But, it should of course be directly a reasonable device. So I compared, read the reviews left me time with the decision. The decisive factor was ultimately the assessment of Stiftung Warentest, which had tested these picture frames in the November 2010 edition of the test winner in the category with power supply (in the 7-inch version). When he finally was there, of course, everything has been tried immediately. Initially only used with the assembly instructions. When then ultimately everything was in the right place, I just used a USB flash drive with pictures. Was also going on at once and the pictures ran in sequence from the pre-slide mode. Problem was initially, however, (the frame stand in landscape mode) that the portrait images were not shot. Next we went but with an SD card with photos and music directly. Function: Diaschow expired, music also, but the images were still not turned. In order to find out how the settings must be made in the menu, I had to at least half an hour, the instructions read to the PC, where the photo frame connected stood by to try out the settings directly. After a while, everything was ready set that the photos now, regardless of the position of the frame befandt itself, were automatically rotated, depending on the position of the other format is provided with a black border. Slideshow and music play mode was set and everything was going as planned succession from. For this purpose, yet the note, the slide show does not start again from the beginning (always with the same order), as is common, according to reviews on other models, but makes at the point, where he stopped at last switch. This applies both for the photos, as well as for the music! Furthermore, selected photos and music of the frame plays either from a specific folder or storage medium from, or, if desired, by each of them all. The picture quality is really nice and also the tone of the music is quite enough for my taste.
Here again the pros and cons listed:
Advantages: * Beautiful large display * White and black selectable (I have a white, because you see less dust) * Has a large internal memory, but that can not have to use * Photos are clearly visible, even from a distance and from a different angle * Plays his own music (MP3 files I) in various settings * Calendar function, alarm function with music, sleep timer * Directly on the remote control selectable and variable options of photo modes (single frame, slide show overview of the folder)
Disadvantages: * Connection always current (are but few other frame with battery), so rather not for Work (keyword: power theft ;-)) * Consuming reading in the operating instructions about PC, but after quite well without guidance operated (maximum case of special settings) * It does not use the photo frame at some point so often! So, think about investing!
PS I am just facing a problem that can not be solved directly with the remote control, ie, manual insert (not great!)
