This review is from: Samsung SPF-71E 7-Inch Digital Photo Frame (Black)Apparently I should have done a little math on the resolution on this one before I trusted the picture and other reviews. I watched different deals on-line for about a week only considering non-widescreen frames. Note: for those of you who don't know, widescreen frames are a bad idea for the consumer and a good idea for the manufacturer. A widescreen with equal diagonal measurement to a 4:3 screen has a smaller surface area, therefore cheaper to produce. However, since your pictures aren't widescreen there are black bars on either side of your photos unless you spend some time cropping and/or skewing each one of your photos. So, the actual viewing area is pretty close to 7". However, the picture is shown the same size as if you had a 4:3 screen at about 5 3/4". Imagine my disappointment then to have my frame show up (very quickly) and when I pull it out of the box... it's widescreen. Although I wish this were more apparent in the product description I guess I should have been more skeptical before I bought the thing. Other than the widescreen thing it's fairly straight forward to use. The built-in auto resize isn't super awesome. You'll probably want to resize and crop everything in photoshop or gimp before you put them on there (lots of fun if you're into that sort of thing).Bottom line: It's pretty much a 5 3/4" screen, not 7"......
This review is from: Samsung SPF-71E 7-Inch Digital Photo Frame (Black)Since Amazon has grouped different sizes and specs together, to be clear, I am reviewing the Samsung SPF-71E Black 7-Inch digital photo frame. I purchased this as a gift for my mother-in-law and am in the process of filling an SD card for right now. This is the second digital photo frame I have bought for her, and this one is much improved over the last one (made by Coby). What I didn't like about my Coby is that it would automatically stretch every picture out to fit the frame fully. The front also fell off of the Coby exposing the electronics beneath. This Samsung digital photo frame gives you the option to do the following:Fit to width: It will enlarge every picture so it fills up the frame completely, but he downside is that it will in the process cut of the top and bottom of the pictures to do so. The aspect ratio is maintained so the pictures still look accurate, even if you are not seeing the whole picture. Fit to screen: In this every picture will fill the screen, but pictures will not maintain aspect ratio, so pictures may appear stretched from side to side or top to bottom. Auto fit and Original Fit: I can't tell the difference between these two options. They both fill the screen from top to bottom for all of my photos, leaving a black strip on each side unless they've been cropped to fit 16:9. So, the 7" black digital photo frame is widescreen (16:9), even though my camera takes 4:3 pictures. This isn't so much a problem for me because I edit, recolor, add text, and crop every photo. But, for those who want a more click and display experience, this is not the best frame for you. Another downside is that this frame does not run on battery. I imagine if you are buying this for a parent that is on the road a lot, a battery operated frame would be more ideal so they won't have to carry along a power cord. The swivel back is very nice and sturdy. I like it much better than fold out stands. Another downside that I see to this frame is that it is not wall-mountable. I honestly don't know if they make these wall-mountable, but if they did I would like to hang in on the wall by my desk. I do wish the frame included a little remote so I could scroll through and adjust settings while looking at the pictures rather than turning the frame over to make adjustments. I had no problems loading pictures directly onto the internal memory, but it doesn't hold much so you'll want to pick up an SD card. I bought the Transcend 4 GB SDHC SD Class 6 Flash Memory Card TS4GSDHC6E [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging]. The documentation is light and the 61 page instruction manual includes instructions in 19 languages including several Asian languages. I couldn't get the frame to pause for an extended period of time, it would pause for a while, and then resume the slideshow. I tried setting the pictures as a background, but they also eventually started back up as a slideshow. The speed can be adjusted to fast, medium, or slow. I eventually got one picture to stay by selecting "repeat one photo" after drilling down menus. It was an interesting solution, and the photo still shows the transitions such as fade, blind, cross comb, mosaic, checker, dissolve and more. You can also set it to show no transition effects. For those of you who can problem solve and like to modify all of your pictures, this is a great frame. The colors are beautiful and it appears to be very well made. I would buy another one without hesitation....
This review is from: Samsung SPF-71E 7-Inch Digital Photo Frame (Black)Note this review is for the 7" Samsung non-wireless frame only.I bought this 7" digital picture frame unknowing it is NOT 4:3... it's 16:9 (aka widescreen), because of unclear product descriptions by Amazon and a little bit of inexperience / naivete regarding this particular model.So unless all your pics are 4:3 (NOT likely in the least) then you will have black bars on both sides of the photo when displayed using the default option (see below for further explanation).
