Philips 7FF3FPB

Horrible. If only I had read the reviews...I would never have purchased this item. Let me start by saying I work in technology, so I know what quality and simplicity should look like. I was hoping for a… fair quality, simple to use picture frame to give to a moderately computer savvy relative for Xmas. Reasons not to buy this: -Display quality is poor: Mine came with several pixels dead, right out of the box. -Navigation is awful: The buttons are on the back, and you have to look at the front to see the menus as they change. You end up feeling around back there...its not good. -On Board Memory is useless: It contains sample photos that cannot be deleted (the infamous baby from other reviews) and which continually display along with your photos in the slideshow. -Widescreen Display is awful: If you are scanning old 4:3 aspect ratio family pictures into this 16:9 ratio frame, you get two choices: diplay them with black bars to the sides or stretch and distort them. Neither is terribly attractive. After two hours of scan then crop of the family photos, I put this thing back in the box, and bought one of the kodak easyshare frames. In summary, I would not recommend this device to anyone who is not an expert at manipulating photos, and even then be ready for the time commitment. Update: The kodak easy share frame is working out great! Highly recommended as an alternative. Kodak EasyShare P720 Digital Picture Frame with Home Decor Kit
