Customer Review

This was our 4th digital photo frame, over time, expectations are always continued to fall. It seems to us to be lacking in quality more and more. Well, you do not have to stop with life or even.

1. The digital photo frame we bought the 2007, which has also held around 3 years. The second came just to not even 2 years, but since the company bankrupt? authority, an exchange was not mlglich. The 3rd was for the 1st time one of Hama, namely the 15.0 inch version. This naturally broke after 2 years and 2 weeks. Unfortunately, Amazon was not willing to overlook the 2 weeks. Seis drum. This only briefly the reason of declining expectations.

We had considered not too expensive frame to buy, but as in the segment 12-15 inches just under 100, - fall, we bought in spite of the not so intoxicating predecessor again one of Hama. A bad decision at this time anticipate.

The positive is the akzeptabele Bildqualtität. Anticipation, we have a DSLR and are also fotographieren not so bad in things. Therefore, many images are classified as good. However, we have not left the images in full resolution, but scaled down to 800x600 here what often looks better than to let this make the frame. Nice side effect, the images are no longer so great. The horizontal viewing angle, we find acceptable. Even the worlds better than us previous 15 inch frame. This was only black seen from about 45 degrees. This indeed suffers the color intensity, but retains about 120 degrees nor his comeliness.

But that was already on the goodies.

Unfortunately, we have the product description probably misinterpreted. We felt that it also gives einene Random image display here what we had read but probably was that the transition between the images can be set to random. In 2014 an absurdity that a random play is not enabled by default. And in the name has in a frame which "Premium", especially since these, too can play videos. Well, Hama wants to earn well with the more expensive models of money, so the less than 100, - limit in the function.

We have these picture frames so hung (Note: We have a Vesa mount used because we did not want to drill new holes for frame number 4 again). So set everything you need. Brightness, contrast, saturation, transitions and training and On timer, etc. After that we so first images loaded onto an external memory card and then transfer the images to the frame, has also so far everything worked out. The demo images have always bothered us, so deleted the Flux. Hm funny, after the restart but they were back. We've made the games a couple of times, unfortunately, remained are not deleted.

So just connect your computer to the frame and see if there are to see any trash or the like. Unfortunately, did not work with a Win7 laptop connection. Although the framework indicates that he is attached to a computer, the laptop, however, has not received a new device. After an hour unnerved abandoned. At this point we had already resigned to the internal memory can not be used and put on an external memory card. However, since these were all in use, we did not necessarily have a buy it. Thinking short and expanded the internal memory card from the old framework.

Here came the idea, whether it is not perhaps of picture frames firmware updates. And fact a firmware update found that will resolve this problem with the non-deleted demo images. Performed by update statement, hm, not works. Then something else tried, ran.

Now the frame runs a few days and something was wrong. The frame went without the standby function to activate off after 4 hours. The next day he went through. But he turned up on the day not to be schaltenen time. So get into the setup menu, hm, the times were set to "Off". So turned on again. But the next day he did not automatically, so back to the setup. Again, the times were set to "Off". Tested a couple of times, unfortunately, these functions dissembled again.

What also does not look so great, the transitions as it jerks violently in some transitions, not looks really nice. So in the end of the frame has not even enough for performance. And we are talking about the pictures just 300-500 KB have.

Because it is enough for us now, the frame is sent back. An absurdity that Hama do not get such a simple thing to the chain that even a firmware update has to be done, but what then caused other problems.
