Not that there aren't many, but none of them are deemed reliable enough. Even the Sony's have quite many negative feed backs despite their high cost and positive reviews. So I didn't want to spend too much money anyway to end up with a clunker a year down the line. Costco had this great deal on the Pandigital 10.4" frame with 1GB internal memory, I thought I will give it a try. The coupon would reduce the price by $40 and my cost would be $99. Not bad for a 10.4" frame with 1 GB memory. This frame also had a dark brown/black frame that suited our family room. The display resolution was 800x600, which is quite good. You need a 800x600 at least for those 8". However, as I watch the pictures I see they are bright and sharp. The frame has had wireless adaptability i.e., with an adapter it could go wireless. Costco also has this great deal - you can return almost anything within 90... Read more Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you?

Overall the frames look nice and they both provide a good picture. However, I found the pantouch capability on the 8 inch frame to be a huge advantage --- it made it so much easier to just touch the screen to pick photos to import, move from one menu option to another---versus on the 10.4 inch frame where I had to keep clicking on the remote or one of the buttons behind the frame to scroll through features, for me that really made things cumbersome. It was like having a computer with just a keyboard and no mouse or scroll wheel. Maybe if I had never experienced the pantouch capability I would have not had missed it, but after using it, going to the a non-touch screen frame just seemed so annoying. I bought 2 more of the 8 inch pantouch frames for both sets of grandparents, for them the touch screen was a...

Most frames only permit the slideshow mode to iterate over the picture collection in seconds: ie 5s,10s,15s,30s,60s duration. For something that is mimicking a picture frame that, to me, was too often for something on a desk or nightstand. This one has both 24 hours and 1 hour options. I was looking for 24 hours, but it turns out that 1 hour is really cool. I loaded up 300 of our pictures (very easy with no pc software. A folder mounted as soon as the usb was connected to the pc). There is an option to get a wireless usb to dump to the folders remotely. I didn't try that but the menu appears to have all the appropriate configuration of the wireless settings. Another feature is a screen auto-shutoff for nights and optionally for weekends (ostensibly for people who have it in an office and want it off for part/all the weekend). I really like this feature as well since it's pointless to waste electrons... Read more Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you? |
