At first glance, the frame still looks meticulously crafted, but not very high. A shiny frame would have the whole upgraded somewhat.
With in the package is a detailed manual, a remote control, a pedestal (consisting of a pin which is screwed at the back), a power cable and a small remote control the size of a bank card.
There are buttons for navigation and numerous slots for memory cards and USB flash drive at the rear of the frame.
Image Quality:
For me, the key criterion. The images are high quality and the presentation can still be based on individual needs to adjust (brightness, saturation, contrast, etc.) are changed.
Although the resolution does not come to the presentation on an iPad zoom, but I did not expect at this price. 800 x 600 dpi cut nowadays not really from stool.
The size of the display area is appropriate and has no fading effects at the edges on. Nice.
Navigation:
The menu is quite clear and leaves a few settings to. It takes a while to get into it has found in the menu system. People without much technical experience are mE thus have a few problems.
The Hama Basic allows a few settings for the display (Slide Show, Shuffle, rhythm in which the images are changed, transition effects, etc.). He also provides the preview window, a calendar option and much more.
Operation is via remote control much easier. If you want the frame to make adjustments directly, the buttons are located on the back. In accordance with the framework constantly have to turn back and forth to select the desired menu. Since the range of operation is limited, you should max stay 2 meters away from the frame.
Praise:
Good value for money. The frame does what he is, namely, display images and leaves the user with a certain amount of freedom.
Pictures are automatically adjusted to the size of the frame and can be played back randomly.
Other settings such as calendar option (with image), an image change interval, sepia, monochrome display, etc. offer some variety.
Wall-mountable.
Card slots on the rear are set back from the edge. So you can leave the USB stick stuck confidently, he is covered by the housing.
Cons:
"Cheap" look of the enclosure.
The frame can only handle jpg files. For normal users, this will not make a lot of problems. Since I shoot in RAW format, I have to convert the images only.
Stand is not very robust and allows only one angle.
The frame is all the images on a connected storage medium again - regardless of whether you have the images sorted in folders. Here I would have liked to see only images are played back from a folder.
For wall mounting, the cable is quite short - about 1.5 meters, and of course in black color.
Calendar offers only one form of presentation - small picture on the left, calendar on the right side (no settings in the layout or color possible).
Conclusion:
For home use for the price thoroughly recommended. A picture frame is mE already erected only as decoration and thus rarely changed. Who really wants to showcase images, will rely more on television, laptop or iPad.
