"poor image quality, long transistions, but easy to use"
I was very concerned about image quality, and read multiple reviews before ordering this product. It was very inexpensive, and looked so when I plugged it in. The image looked faded, like their was a film over it, just not clear and sharp, not vivid. And I had it plugged in and looking at it from about 6 feet away. Also, many of the transitions are very slow, and don't allow you to see the photo during the transition. If I could have cut out all of the transitions altogether I would have been happy to! Would not buy this product, am returning it as we speak.

On the positive side, it was very easy to use, I was up and running in 5 mins.

Unfortunently think I am going to have to spend over $100 to get what I want.

"Works fine, but screen resolution is not as specified."
The product itself is fine. No complaints. The problem I have is that I bought this and a 1Gig memory card as a Christmas present for my parents. I put over 500 pictures of their grandkids on the card from the past 8 years and cropped each one to the dimensions specified on the box. Well it turns out that THEY'RE ALL WRONG! The purpose of cropping them was to avoid the black bars on either side of the screen. Now there are black bars at the top and bottom. Sorry mom and dad, but I'm not cropping 500+ pictures again! How crappy is that!?

"Double image & no tech support"
The picture has a mirrow image over lap giving it a double image. Coby does not answer email and their automated phone answering system hangs up on you after 5 minute wait.



"Okay, I guess."
The frame was attractive, and well put together. My only complaint was the slide show feature that automatically crops photos. It crops them in some strange places. Slide show transitions were a little slow at times. That being said, my grandmother loved it after we filled it with all of the pictures of the family.

"Worst piece of electronic equipment I have ever laid hands on"
I received this as a Christmas gift. I had hinted to Santa that I wanted one, and he came through. Sometimes it's better not to get that for which you asked.

I was very excited to get my photos loaded and have the frame running. When I unpackaged it, I noticed a tiny blemish on the screen. It was so small I decided I could overlook it. I sat the frame on a table and immediately one of the "feet" on the easel fell off. Not off to a good start, but I decided to carry on thinking I could glue the foot back on.

I connected the frame to my computer. I won't bore you with the details of everything that went wrong, but my other USB devices quit working, my PC locked up, blah, blah, and so on.

I finally got some photos loaded onto the thing. I put it on the table, started the slideshow, and it actually worked. I was not impressed with the display quality but I could have lived with it had everything else worked. Depending on whether you're sitting or standing, some of the photos looked very dark. There were very few controls to adjust brightness, contrast, etc.

I connected it to my PC again to add more photos. I went through the same trials and tribulations as before. I put the frame back on in slideshow mode. This time around, I noticed that the frame would unexpectedly and intermittently exit the slideshow. After much consternation and cursing, I discovered that the remote control for my tv was communicating with the frame. I could start and stop the frame slideshow simply by using my tv remote control. I guess that's okay except if you want to change the channel but keep the slideshow running . ..

Anyway, after a day of experimenting, it became clear that the device was simply defective . . . in so many ways. Also, it's absurd that you can only start the slideshow via the frame remote control rather than having a button/switch on the device.

It's hard to believe they're getting $100 for this thing. I am returning mine for a refund. I am sorry that there is no rating LESS THAN one star. Do I have anything good to say? Yes, the frame and accessories were easy to repackage and fit in the box. So far, the return experience with Amazon is going smoothly, but I will reserve final thought until we receive the refund.

If you're wanting a good digital photo frame, keep shopping. You can do better!
