Customer Reviews
Overpriced and underwhelmed![]()
The pictures are not good. You can't adjust the color. If you load a picture before adjusting it (you wouldn't know you needed to adjust it unless you load it first), it won't save in the new format and you can't change the brightness/tone or whatever. The menu is slow and stupid and the frame overall looks cheap.
This frame should cost $30 or less. Not what I paid here.
Poor customer service![]()
I've had several digital frames in the past. This product is grossly inferior to the others I've purchased. The slide show would freeze after only a few photos. I tried two different types and brands of memory cards (CF and SD) with different photo files on each, with the same freezing problem occurring each time. I tried twice to call customer service (good luck finding the number on the company's web site) and each time I was placed on hold for 10 minutes or more, waiting patiently while I was told what person in line I was. Both times, when I was 3rd or 4th in line, the system hung up and told me to call back later! I sent two emails with no response. I returned the frame and bought a brand I had purchased before. Stay away!!!
Adequate but quirky![]()
I'm not a videophile, and I've only used it for three days, so I really have no comment about the aspect ratios or picture quality which frankly seems just fine to me. My two biggest beefs though were the slideshow feature and the USB port.
1) The slideshow does not have a random viewing feature. For some strange reason, it plays the photos only in the order in which the photos were tranferred to the SD card, irrespective of even the filenames. Since I had originally loaded the photos from a folder on my computer that listed the photos in alphabetical filename order, that's precicely the order I was forced to view the photos on the frame. The fix to this was rather cumbersome. I had to physically rename all the photos on my computer with random letters and numbers, erase the SD card and then re-transfer the files back onto the card with the new names. Now they play in random order, but only in the same "random" order in which I renamed the files. I'll have to repeat the process any time I add new photos to the card.
2) When I tried to do the above by connecting the unit directly to the computer via the USB port, I discovered that out of the dozens of USB cords I own, I do not have a single cord with USB A type plugs on both ends. Come to think of it, of all of the hundreds of gadgets I own, I don't think a single one of them has a USB type A port socket - it's always either a type B, mini A or mini B. I've only ever seen type A ports on computers, so all of my cables are type A on the end the plugs into the computer, and another type that plugs into the gadget. I was surprised and disappointed that Coby did not include a simple and inexpensive USB cord with the unit.
