The 8-inch LCD screen displays photos with a 4:3 aspect ratio. The 800-by-600-pixel resolution frame displays photos with super-fine detail and has a built-in clock and calendar. An auto on/off feature conserves energy. According to reviews, many Amazon.com customers purchased the frame as a gift for a friend or family member. The digital frame can upload photos from a USB drive and supports most memory card formats. Some users express displeasure over the lack of internal memory in the digital photo frame. In addition, photos can only be displayed randomly, and some customers wish they could change the order.

As the digital photo frame category has shrunk, very few professional reviews are available. However, we found a number of user reviews on Amazon.com, Buzzillions.com and TigerDirect.com.
