Reviews This is the first digital frame I've bought, but I really like it. The touch screen controls work as expected and they really changes the settings easy. The large picture is great and clear and crisp. Nice looking frame too. I have several digital frames but this one has the most features. Bright clear 1024x768 screen. I like the 4x3 format because my main computer screen is 4x3 and my 35mm scans are 4x3. The sound is clear and video is smooth. I'm waiting for the Pandigital wifi/bluetooth dongle I ordered to be able to display my online Google photo album. I used another brand of bluetooth dongle and was able to transfer photos from my Blackberry curve to the frame up to 30 feet away. It is best to upload photos in 1024x768 as Photos look best in the native frame size of 1024x768 but larger and smaller images are automatically sized to fit the screen. It takes some getting used to operating the frame as the operation is different for touch screen, rear buttons and remote. I have had none of the failures others have reported except that the tiny remote would not function. Pandigital replaced my remote with a larger much nicer one within 2 weeks. It is not the fault of the frame but some of the photos and videos won't work. I didn't pay attention to the file format and uploaded MOVs and image files that would not display. They tend to lock up the frame. I converted them to AVI or DIVX or JPG and all files work perfectly. Angle of view is great in my opinion. It is as good as any of my computer monitors including Dell and Viewsonic. Went in with my sibs on this for Mom's 80th birthday present. At the big party, we all took pictures with our digital cameras including a video of the birthday song and toast. The next day we gave it to her with all the pictures and the video loaded for her. It was simple to load and the touch interface is easy for her to understand and use. The larger size and fine image quality are easy on her eyes, yet it is compact and light weight enough for her to take along to show her friends. With her, digital photos are all well and fine but she likes to have something in hand to show off. I was happy to see that she can show photos directly from the USB drive or camera chips. That way she can view other photos without having to mix them up with the birthday pix. The image is large and bright enough that she can see it running a slide show from across the room and the remote lets her stop and start it without getting up. In summary, the quality and features of this frame were way more than we expected at the price. Unless it stops working next week, I'd recommend it to anyone without reservation. I had such high hopes for this product but I was left disillusioned. It is well made, well finished, very nice display, some good features some bad and some missing. So what is the problem? in a word, the REMOTE. The remote STINKS, it is LOUSY, it is a pile of horse S--T!!!! At least 50% of the time it simply does not work. You can press a button on the remote and NOTHING happens, you can repeat the action 10 times with NO RESULT. The "Greeting Card" feature is nice but I tried for hours to enter some text such as "Dear Brenda, Happy Birthday", my sister's birthday. I was NEVER able to get beyond the "a" in "Brenda", it would freeze but if you waited about 2 minutes it MIGHT UN-FREEZE. Mostly it DID NOT. Pull the power plug and start again, over and over and over again. Now the functions of the remote can be duplicated with buttons on the back of the unit but the problem is that you cannot see the buttons without turning the frame around to check that you are pressing the correct one, this is NOT GOOD. The screen for entering text is badly laid out and a very curious thing struck me, although there is a screen with many symbols such as !@#$%^& etc. there is NO comma. There is NO comma the commonest punctuation character in the English language. If anyone can find a comma please let me know where it is. So what to do? I purchased another unit but, same old S--T, well it was marginally better, they are both going back. Incidentally, I bought them at COSTCO for $99.99, how come Amazon wants $179 for the same thing???? Now this unit has the 10.4 inch screen, there is another unit with an 8 inch screen that has a touch screen, hmm too many "screens". I tried this out in the Costco store, much much better, the touchscreen that is I could not checkout the remote. I may buy this one for my sister and it is only $79.99. Now to the features, they're not bad, I particularly like the ability to place images into pre-defined folders such as Home, Family, Travel etc but the pre-definition is the problem. It would be so nice and easy to allow the creation of additional user defined folders, LISTEN UP PANDIGITAL. Now I will go back to Costco to return the 2 10.4 inch units and get an 8 inch touchscreen unit. Costco allows you 90 days to try the unit out and return it. Hope this is of value to someone. I recently purchased this product from Amazon.com where it was selling for $125.00 off list. It was to replace a similar product of same size from a different vendor where the screen stop working after 3 years of use. This product is beautiful, it came with a cherry hardwood frame, as well as the black frame. I have a technical background, and found the instructions inconsistent between using the remote and using the touch screen. I find my self using the touch screen instead of the remote out of conveinence, yet... some functions you still need the remote to configure them. With some time, I quickly got the hang of it. One of the features I like about this frame is you can set it to go off and on at a certain time to save on energy. I have mine in my bedroom, so it sort of comes on before bedtime, and goes off after I am asleep. I use it like a night light. One of the cons besides the documentation was I though it came with a WI-FI connection, but for that to work, you need to purchase the network adapter at an additional cost. I have plenty SD memory cards, so it was not that big a deal.
