Customer Reviews

Poor Image Quality for a Digital Frame
I have the 10.4 Nextar frame. I do digital photography as a paying hobby. Thus, I am familiar with digital imaging and choosing a display. Bottom-line: The frame doesn't have a good display at all! Images are blurry and unsharp, even when resized to the frame's 800x600 claimed native resolution. Oddly, the instructions say the frame is 800x600 resolution, but the box says it's 640x480.

Having purchased frames for others and also owning two other frames, I can tell you that this frame is not worth the money. Even a frame that's more expensive will be worth it, just for the improved image quality. This frame has shameful image quality and should be avoided.

Bogus Product
I work with computers and video cameras on a daily basis, so I have a lot of experience with digital products - this is NOT a good one. I purchased this frame for my parents the day after Thanksgiving, thinking I got a really great deal - a $300 frame for only $100. It's really not even worth the $100. As far as the frame exterior goes, it's nicer than most other digital frames out there, but that's where the good things stop. The remote has more than 20 buttons on it - that is completely unecessary for a simple digital frame. It will take a USB flash drive, or the memory cards from your digital camera and play the pictures off of it, but that's all it will do - there is no way to copy and paste the pictures into the frame's internal memory. So you've now lost your USB/Memory card, if you really want to use your frame. I left the USB drive in for about 10 minutes to let the pictures run, when I took it out - the thing was too hot too touch. This frame would have a meltdown if you actually tried to use it the way it was intended to be used.

I would advise against anyone buying one of these products. There is a reason they are such a good deal. I purchased another frame from Best Buy that same day, much cheaper, and though the frame itself is not as pretty, the picture quality is ten times better and the interface is so easy to use. Copy and paste the pictures in and you're done. That's the way it is supposed to be.

Worst Instructions Ever Written!
My parents received this as a Christmas gift, and as the picture person in the family, I was tasked with setting it up.

I opened up the box and found the basic loose papers like the product registration, etc. When I couldn't find the manual after a minute or two of digging, I realized that one of those loose papers was the 8-page User's Manual.

The thing was one of the worst written pieces of technical writing I've ever seen. Those 40 buttons on the remote? Not a one was explained. Nowhere did it mention that you need to devote a memory card or USB flash drive.

Everything I was able to do with this frame I figured out on my own by just pushing buttons. Maybe someday I'll actually stumble across how to play music while the photos rotate through (though who would want to through those crappy speakers?).

It was a thoughtful gift though, just don't waste your money on this brand. I really hope the giver didn't spend anything more than $20 on this.
