This review is from: Philips 6.5-Inch Digital Picture Frame (White)Summary: This is basically a good product, albeit with some flaws that will drive you crazy and make you waste hours of your time if you are not aware of them beforehand.First of all, note that this review is for the Philips Photo Frame with the 7FF1CMI/37 model number. I say this up front because if you go to the Philips web site, and then click on "Contact & Support", and then search on "photo frame", you'll find that there are gobs of models whose ID numbers are all the same, except for some small variation. My guess is that every time Philips releases another model, someone tells them about some idiotic flaw, which they (hopefully) fix, and then they release the same product under a slightly new model number.Also, I'd like to mention that I discovered too late (before I mailed this unit off to my Dad for his birthday) that the support page on Philips' website offers a firmware update, dated 02/07/2007. Maybe that update addresses some of the problems that I talk about below; I wish I knew.Anyway, this digital frame is essentially a good product. When it displays pictures, they are automatically resized to fit properly within the 720x540 pixel display, and the colors are brighter and more vibrant than what appears on my PC's monitor. You can configure the pictures to switch from once every 5 seconds to once a day, and most everything in between. It's easy to transfer pictures from your PC to the frame's internal memory, and the unit can accept a few different types of memory cards. I have a 1 GB SD card containing two folders of picture file: one folder of pictures in landscape (horizontal) format, and one folder of pictures in portrait (vertical) format. Now, then, are the irritations. First of all, you'd expect any decent unit of this type to be able to display pictures in any of the typical, common file formats in use today: .JPG, .BMP, .GIF, and .PNG at the very least. Uh-ah. This unit only recognizes files with the .JPG extension -- and it can't even display all files of that type. On my SD memory card, I had a number of picture files where I used the photo-enhancing software that came with my HP scanner. The Philips frame was unable to display any of those files, even though they were perfectly good .JPG files that any other application on my PC could open. I was only able to get around this problem by opening each of those files in my generic image viewer/editor (IrfanView) and re-saving them. The next most irritating phenomenon I experienced was in the mode that displays images as thumbnails. A number of my portrait-oriented pics showed up as being rotated 180 degrees off; i.e. upside-down. I went through the trouble of re-opening and re-saving all of these in IrfanView, then re-writing all of them to the memory card -- but they still appeared 180 degrees off when viewed in the Photo Frame's thumbnail mode. However, I ultimately discovered that they appeared in the correct orientation when viewed in Browse or Slideshow mode.One last quirk that I must mention. As mentioned above, the dimension of the photo frame's screen is 720 pixels by 540 pixels, which equates to a 4:3 aspect ratio. My phone cam takes pictures that are of a different aspect ratio, maybe 3:2. When these pictures are displayed on the Philips 7FF1CMI/37, black areas appear on the top & bottom, or left & right, depending on whether the pic is in portrait or landscape orientation. It's like when you watch a widescreen movie on your standard screen TV, or vice versa, and it's to be expected. However, after I cropped all of those pictures so that they resulted in a 4:3 aspect ratio, some of them displayed properly on the Photo Frame as expected -- and some did not (i.e., they still had black "letterbox" bars on either side, although I could re-verify those pics as being in a 4:3 aspect ratio.)I'd recommend the Philips Photo Frame to you, as long as you are cognizant of the above shortcomings -- which might or might not be fixed by downloading and installing the firmware update that I mentioned above. I apologize that I was not able to do that before shipping out the unit as a birthday present.P.S. --By the way, in contrast to the experience that some other folks have reported here, I can insert my SD card with the unit turned on or turned off, and it will read the card and react appropriately. But note that if you have inserted a memory card, the unit will then ignore any pictures you may have stored in its internal memory....
This review is from: Philips 6.5-Inch Digital Picture Frame (White)I don't normally do the review thing, but in this case I decided to take a few minutes. For Christmas this year I decided to give a few of these digital picture frames. I purchased two of the philips frames for my mother and mother in-law. While shopping I decided I'd like one to. In an effort to save a few dollars I decided I didn't need one as nice as the parents so I opted for the TAO 5.6" Mahogany Modern Digital Picture Frame. While waiting for them to be delivered I created a folder of photos t...
