Pros Great image, wood frame, well laid out menus, settings and albums.
Cons Factory flaws. Can't flip a photo or view just one out of slide show sequence.
Recommended it? Yes

We bought 3 of these frames as Christmas presents from Costco. I chose this frame for it's feature set. The screen resolution (800 X 600) as well as the on board
256 MB memory is superior to most other frames. We uploaded about 700 photos in 2 of the frames with lots of memory left. We dragged... Read full review »

Pros Great resolution and feature set for price, remote works well
Cons Dead pixels, usb compatibility issues, video playback lacking, slow
Recommended it? No

We decided to purchase this frame after comparing to others on the market and seeing them on a demo next to other frames. All in all they looked good and this frame is has a great feature set in the price range. It will do photos, video, sound bytes, read from most types of cards, internal memory,... Read full review »

Pros Vibrant almost Hi Def colors, Firmware upgradable !!, power saving feature
Cons None Really.
Recommended it? Yes

My 3rd Picture Frame. Very good, almost Hi-Def frame. I spent 30 mins in JandR.com store comparing colors. This one has vibrant colors.

I see people complaining about strange things that happen to other Frames as well. Sometimes if you delte files via USB using your PC or Mac it will not... Read full review »

Pros Nice wooden design, Images were very clear (when the frame was working)
Cons This frame does not work with images generated on an Apple computer
Recommended it? No

I was initially able to load images directly from my Apple computer (using a USB cable) and via a CompactFlash card. The image quality was very good, however, the frame stopped working when I was loading additional images from the CF card and it would not power up again.

I contacted... Read full review »

Poor color reproduction

byhardgrader Jan 16, 2008
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Good set of features
Cons Poor color reproduction
Recommended it? No

I bought a SmartParts SPX8 a few weeks ago. The color reproduction was very poor--there was almost no red/yellow in the image, just a lot of blue/green. This was true both for photos read directly off a memory card, and photos transferred from a computer after processing in Photoshop. I contacted... Read full review »

Almost great

3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros appearance,auto on/off,music for slide show,very similar to an actual frame
Cons needs to accommodate more song formats, poorly designed frame to screen attachment
Recommended it? Yes

The outer frame is very similar to an actual photo frame. It's even covered by a piece of glass. This model has a very pleasing appearance compared to many I've looked at. The frame attachment to the actual screen/body is poorly designed and is prone to popping off. I wouldn't use the wall hang for... Read full review »

Pros Beautiful Frame
Cons Freezes up 9 out of 10 times, preventing photo upload
Recommended it? No

I loved the idea of this...and was so disappointed that neither of the two frames I bought work! They would not load photos! I was so excited to use them, and after the first didn't work...I thought the second one HAD to, that the first was just a fluke. Kinda strange to get two duds! Both of them... Read full review »

Pros When this product works, it works well.
Cons Support is almost non-existent
Recommended it? No

When this product works, it works well.  However, if you have a problem, support is almost non-existent.   Recently, I tried to load a card of additional pictures to my SmartParts SPX8 frame. After a reasonable period, it stated "Optimization Complete" and entered the slide show.  However, the... Read full review »
