Consumer review (newegg.com)

Works

 

Looks about as I expected for the money. I haven't tried to hang it up yet, but I would think they could have used a different cord color, just in case you wanted to.

Easy to plug in. Stand works well enough to keep in a low traffic area. Picture quality is as expected, hey from across the room it looks great! Pluging it in was a snap

Must turn off the item from the switch, no sleep mode. After powering up, you have to go through a series of steps in order to play the slide show, making it kind of annoying

Follow-up Review

 

This is a follow-up review. I'm not pleased with the product. Besides the con from my last review, the stand has now broken off and intermittently the frame's lcd displays everything in a red shade.

Price, fairly simple navigation

MP3s don't play simultaneously with slideshow, cheap construction, average to poor picture

Cheap and effective

 

For the money the frame is very good. And I don't mind the pixilation. It's a picture frame so I am not going to be staring at from 2" away. Since it's just a picture frame I can't justify the higher cost of it's counter parts for what it ulitmatly...

CHEAP! It's a low end 4:3 LCD picture frame that gets the job done for someone like me who is not bothered by average resolution. The menu is fairly straight forward and the device supports multiple flash memory formats. I use a 2 gig SAC card

The buttons on the remote are a joke and the device sometimes fails to respond to the remote or even the buttons on the device itself which can be frustrating. The resolution is sub par but I knew this going in

yeah i sent it back

 

um cheap

its like a big cell phone screen. very low quality and very pixleated. It was very awkward to navigate though the menu and after watching it for about 5 minutes it went back in the box

Why include mp3 support?

 

This is fine if you don't expect the mp3 support to be used during the slideshow.

Easy enough navigation, simple to use, pictures look decent, no problems with dead pixels or anything

I don't understand why they include mp3 support, or why it has speakers when you can't have the music play at the same pictures are displayed. It simply does not have this function as I've emailed Coby technical support about this

Not too bad aside from the LCD color quality

 

For the money, I can live with the screen. The interchangeable frames are nice but I may end up removing the colored bezel and the clear plastic frame to put a real wood picture frame over it. I suppose if you had a lamp-shade iMac, the white and clear...

It's the cheapest 4:3 frame I've seen and it does what it ought to do - display JPGs. The remote is handy, too ; Fairly intuitive, just put a memory card or USB stick in the side, or multiple at a time, and it'll roll off each picture after another at...

The LCD is fairly bright but not spectacular. The contrast is lousy. Bright red, green, and blue colors are too bright and darker shades all sort of blend together. There doesn't seem to be a way to adjust the color curves in the setup. I suppose the...

Coby 5.6 in. Digital Photo Frame with MP3 Player, Vinyl

 

I got this as a gift for my wife to have at her desk at work. She loves it. It's easy to upload new phones and set up custom slide shows. My only issue was the low resolution. But for the price you can't complain.
