Average Customer Review:



This review is from: Westinghouse 8\" LCD Digital Photo FrameWe had high expectations for this digital frame since we had already been using the smaller verion of this (DPF-0561) for about six months. We liked the smaller frame because, while it doesn't have the greatest resolution at 320x240, it was relatively inexpensive, displays all photos near perfect color and looks pretty good from a few feet away. Unfortunately, there are some problems with the DPF-0801 that might cause you to take a look at another brand. The DPF-0801 with its 640x480 resolution is definitely much crisper and clearer than the it's smaller version but the color is not as good. The whites are not as bright, flesh tones are a little too pink and all photos look a little washed out. They also took a step backward by no longer saving system settings in flash for when the unit is turned off. In other words, you have to set the transition and display settings every time the unit is turned on. I called customer service and they had the same problem with their unit so it appears to be a design problem rather something unique to my frame. The DPF-0561, however, saves settings after the power is turned off as you would expect it to.The last problem I had was that the adjustable leg on the back of the frame broke off after just one day of use. I guess this isn't too bad of a problem if you plan on hanging this on a wall but I keep mine on my desk at work.I plan on exchanging my frame with the hope that factory color settings just weren't adjusted properly and that the leg problem was just a fluke. I'm not too optimistic though. They have a product here on the verge of perfection for the price but it looks like they didn't want to take the extra step....

This review is from: Westinghouse 8\" LCD Digital Photo FrameI'm a serious amateur photographer so I always thought these things were kind of dumb, but my kids got me one for Christmas and I love it. I'll soon be getting one for my parents. The colors are clear, crisp and correct. It takes all kinds of cards and I found it very easy to use. I've read a lot of just plain wrong comments in some of the other reviews. For instance: Yes it does take "photoshopped" or manipulated photos, as long as they are in standard JPEG format. The colors are true, most people are using uncalibrated MONITORS on their computers when they are messing with their photos and that is the likely source of any problem. I've had no problem loading photos into the local memory of the frame using XP. The two keys are in the last couple lines of the instructions, remember to "Safely Remove Device" and then you must turn off the frame and turn it back on for the photos to appear.Why didn't I give it 5 stars? A real nerdy answer. The manual does not list and I could not find, the technical specifications of the LCD. I want to know the nitty gritty, pixels, expected color space (appears to be sRGB), etc. so that I can optimize photos for it and get the most out of (or on:) the card....

This review is from: Westinghouse 8\" LCD Digital Photo FrameThis product is so defective it should be recalled. I can only display a maximum of 161 pictures, even if you have a 4GB SD card with over 1000 pictures, it will only display the first 161 pictures. Even though it has a USB port for USB flash drives, the interface does not even give you the option to read from a USB flash drive. There is also no "shuffle" function for the slide show feature.I spoke with White Westinghouse Tech Support, and they acknowledged that all the above things were known issues, but there was nothing they could do to fix them. I explained that no where does it mention that there is a maximum limit of 161 pictures!...
