Customer Reviews

disappointing.
My wife bought 2 of these based on cheerful internet reviews. One for my office and one for home. After trying them out we will be returning both of them. What we wanted was simple: a picture frame that displayed photo after photo in smooth succession. What we got was something that more like a bad powerpoint presentation that lagged. A photo would sweep onto the screen using one of several (irritating) special effects and then be erased by yet another. Then the screen would go black. And stay black - for the -same- length of time that you set the photo to be displayed. Not a big deal if you set the time to say, 5 seconds, but if you set your pictures to display for say, 1 minute, the screen remains black between each picture for 1 minute also!

What this effectively means is if you set the time between pictures to be the minimum 5 seconds, you'd see 2 seconds of special effects jitterbugging around to build the picture, 5 seconds of seeing the picture, then 2 more seconds of the picture dissolving, then 5 seconds of a black screen, and so on, which is rather nauseating.

Why pay over $100 to look at a screen that stays blank 50% of the time?

Note: After exhausting the manual and trying all the settings (which there are not a lot of) ), I experimented using smaller and smaller jpg images (under 100k). No improvement. I did not try the internal memory (which only holds 14 images according to the manual, hardly worth it), all images were on a new 1GB sandisk card that I plugged into the unit.

Other notes: The manual is very basic. The remote is OK. It is much easier to operate the unit with the remote than fiddling with the buttons on the unit. The power cord is adequate. The sound feature might be fine for a public setup, but it seems awfully silly for home & office where people have real stereos and mp3 players nearby. The screen is OK, (others must be awful for this unit to get high marks) but if you view it from an angle the image begins to disappear.

Don't buy !
I bought 2 of these products as gifts and embarasingly, neither worked any where near properly. The 5 second picture lasts for 20 seconds and then there is a black screen for the same amount of time inbetween photos. The remote doesn't work. The pictures don't advance and zoom doesn't work. It will not play the video avi files it says it will play.
Worse of all HP's technical support kept me on the phone for an hour and fifteen minutes and no one could help me at all w/ this product. I also had to call 3 other numbers and they eventually referred me back to the same department where I started. I am now stuck with an expensive usless product with no real technical support available by HP.
Don't buy this ! Not even worth one star. It will waste your time and money.

Beautiful screen, looks nice, cheap remote
The screen is gorgeous, very bright and high quality. It plays videos and MP3s as well!
It has a 16:9 aspect ratio, so make sure any videos you add are widescreen or HD. It will automatically zoom photos to fit the screen if need be, but does not do this to video.
The power cable is a shorter than expected, making it difficult to place on, for example, a coffee table in a large living room. Seems intended more for a desk or office?
The wooden clip-on frame looks great! Wish it had glass over the screen like regular picture frames, I may do this myself.
The built-in speakers are pretty good, adequate for playing music in a small room.
Major gripes are the cheap remote (seems very fragile and too small) and it takes a long time to bring up a picture if it is high resolution (1200x1000, for example).

I'd say buy this, the screen alone makes it a great deal. It doesn't cost much more than the no-name brands I see at stores like CVS and Walmart, but photos look far better on this.
