How it sucks

Don't expect much support. On the plus side, I finally got a video to "play." It showed only the first frame and took up about 1/4 of the screen. It then froze and locked up the frame until I shut it off.

I could render a video at 2 pixels by 2 pixels that you wouldn't be able to see! Finally, they said they would transfer me to "advanced" tech support and that I would be receiving a call shortly. I waited on writing this review for over 3 weeks after that call and I still haven't heard back from Coby.

Don't pay attention to the 1 star review ("bugs not worked out yet"). He must have not realized this frame has no internal memory. I have had this frame for two months and so far it is excellent.

I could not get one single video to play on this machine. I tried every video type listed on the box with several different resolutions. I called tech support 3 times and they knew nothing other than..

One small gripe is that there is no random mode for your music, so after shutting it off the music will start back up at the beginning... no biggie.

The speakers are kind of "tinny", but I wasn't expecting too much in the audio department.

I recommend that when buying a digital frame you get at least 800x600 display, anything less looks fuzzy and im very happy with this purchase

How it doesn't

I researched frames for a while and this one has great picture quality. Very easy setup, just loaded pictures on sd card, turned on and started the slideshow.

This is a great digital picture frame. It is the second one I bought, and works great with a super picture. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to buy this type of product.

The fact that this player has no internal storage is almost an advantage as far as I'm concerned - Some people have complained about other models having a "whirring" sound coming from the hard drive, so you won't get that here and you can fit SO many high resolution pics on a decent sized memory card that I can't see the need for any internal storage.

She just has to turn it on and it starts the slideshow automatically, she said it is the greatest gift she has ever gotten, all of the grandkids pictures in one spot.

I picked this up after having two Smartpart frames break on me. So far this is a great frame. I haven't had any problems, and it looks really good too.
