I bought one of these for my in-laws as an anniversary present, and now the 3rd one has gone faulty.
All the ones I received looked to have been opened and had various bits of packaging missing, not a good sign I thought!
I suspect that at least one of the items I received was actually a return from someone else.
The 3rd one seemed to work when I tested but it has now failed after very little usage.
Basically I'd recommend you buy any other frame but this one!
Definitely not a product that meets the usual expectations I have from Amazon.
By J. Barnes (Liphook, Hants, UK)
Bought this for my mother-in-law for her birthday as I already owned the 8" Picture Frame and she loved it. Wish I could now swap it for the 10.4"!!
Other reviews already give you the technical details but I have no issues with it at all. If you understand using files on a computer it doesn't take much to work out how to use it.
What I like is you can pop in your memory card and off you go.
Most people forget to mention that the screen is also 4:3 and not widescreen 16:9. So there is no need to mess about with resizing your images to fit to widescreen. A definite plus for this frame!
There is no random feature but if you load your photos to the memory card in seperate folders you can select one and tell it to repeat that folder. So no need to see all your photos in one go from the beginning each time.

As a regular and long standing Amazon customer, I can say without the slightest doubt that this is the worst product I have ever purchased. The picture quality is extremely poor, to an extent I hardly thought possible. I use a Canon A 610 Powershot camera which produces excellent shots both on screen and in print, but on this product they look abysmal. The comments from other customers regarding aspect ratio are perfectly valid. If the manufacturer cannot design a product to cope with this, then why bother at all? If you want to pay £129 for a clock/calendar, fine. I had hoped to take this on holiday to give me a chance to make some daily deletions from the framer as I went along. I'd be better making the deletions from the camera display screen! My friends and family find the images so blurred and indistinct that they cannot believe the printed versions are in fact the same shots. I believe in giving credit when it is due. Not so on this occasion.
I instead bought a Varnam 8" photo frame, which even being smaller than this one, has much higher resolution 800x600 and light as a feather, for the same price.

How Much Does A Laptop Cost?
Cracking way to display your pics, and an even better way for momma or poppa to display theirs from a digi camera they hardly know how to use.
NOWm please stop, enough of copying AMAZON's reveiws all you other fly by night so called companies (you know who you are)! There ARE so few revies on products these days that are not copied from AMAZON. DO YOUR OWN REVIEWS. In fact unfortunately the only customers that can be bothered are those who get a bad product or service. I actually purchased this item from another UK supplier and drove half way accross the country. This was ONLY because I was too disorganised to arrange AMAZON's one day delivery (MY LAzy fault) I thought that there is only one supplier that has ever given me all I need in the right amount of time, so I will give them my opinion on this product...
This frame is EXCELLENT for the price but the Plastic frame is so well erm... plastic. If you have the ability though any frame adaption is possible u just need to make the EFFORT. OK, the plastic frame is not great but the unit itself and the picture reproduction is goood good good. If you receive one with a bad picture then use the remote and select the default settings and all will be well. When I received the frame everyone glowed orange and titanium white untill I defaulted it LOL.
It looks like you can replace the paper border as you would with any other normal frame (needs a screwdriver). The manual is RUBBISH but just ask a 14 year old they will sort it for you. REMEMBER remote is for screen settings and the buttons on the unit are the monitor settings like...AUTO or COLOUR or BRIGHTNESS ...etc. THE remote settings can cause chaos. Some of the settings available can make your screen unreadable and resetting can be done by either translation of a flashing segmented screen or by the default micro button accessable near the AUTO or up/down buttons (beware never used this method). TOP unit rubbish user manual. Only a problem if you dont own a teenager in the family. GEEBEA

I have only had the frame for a few days but am delighted with it. The only reason I am not awarding it 5 stars overall is the poor manual - it would have been useful to include some guidance on the preparation of Photos and Videos, particularly the latter, for those less familiar with computers. Also, some information on the options for music would also have been appreciated.
That said, I think the performance, which is the main thing, warrants a 5 star rating.
The multicard reader enabled me to use some old, discarded camera cards. Even my old 64 MB card will hold several hundred photos.
I am particularly delighted with the Video capability using a newer,faster ( x50 )media card.
Several MPEG1 video files I have produced from WMV files, using the free converter TMPGEnc, all ran perfectly.
MPEG2 files also ran perfectly when encoded as 352x480 files but I got a few "stutters", both in the videos and audio, in videos encoded as 720x480 files. Download MPEG2 files with this resolution also showed this effect. MPEG4(XVID) files ( AVI files ) of resolution 640x480 and higher showed a similar effect, although one encoded as 320x240 was OK.
Maybe one needs an even faster media card for videos with the higher resolution ? This is an example where a better manual would have been very useful and saved me a lot of time.
However, since the MPEG1 and lower resolution MPEG2 videos play perfectly, I am very happy to standardise my videos on one of these resolutions, which are adequate for a small screen. Remember, the 10.4" is measured across the diagonal, as with TVs, so the actual screen size is 8" x 6".
So, with some computer/video know-how, you can get videos to play well. Now I know the system works well I somewhat regret not having bought the 15" version.
One cautionary note: if anyone buys the unit here and is considering also buying media cards from this supplier, check the delivery price carefully - the headline prices are very deceptive.

Amazon service on order processing and delivery was first rate as usual.
Product was well packaged, It has a nice appearance with no visible controls on the front of the frame. The frame is of good quality painted wood which is more classy than plastic, in my opinion.
Menu access is clear but choosing music accompaniment is a little complicated.
Loading images into the on-board memory is easy if you are familiar with plugging devices into a PC. It is also easy to add or delete individual images, again it requires PC familiarity. If you have more than one SD card the integral memory becomes unimportant.
SD card is a great way to show pictures that you don't intend to keep on the integral memory for frequent viewing.
Image quality is first class but only after adjusting brightness and contrast to suit the frame's location in the room. Adjustable stand is a great help in optimising viewing angle.
Transition effects ate not impressive.
Movie quality and sound are good.
Sound quality is adequate for the purpose. Don't expect hi-fi!
Only two funny problems, both sound related:
1. Even though alarm facility is set to "off" the alarm still rings at the set time. We don't need the alarm facility so have solved the problem by setting alarm time to early morning and switching the frame off overnight.
2. When there is a music file selected it would sometimes play at random even when the frame was set to "stand-by". We decided to delete the sound file as we do not want a musical accompaniment.
Conclusion: If you want a nice looking frame that shows high quality images with the flexibility to vary the slide-show, but you are not bothered about music or alarms, this one is good.

The Living Images (Model Li1501) is a lovely large (15 inch) picture frame with good quality display. It has a wide viewing angle, from the left, right or above, but not so good from below. For most people that won't be an issue, but if you put it on your mantle-piece and sit down you may find yourself viewing from below. It comes with a stand and a wall bracket, but actually sits quite well just on its edge if it's leaning against the wall (again the mantle-piece scenario). The sleek matt black frame is good looking and not too wide.
The frame display is a 4 by 3 format (i.e. not widescreen), so it's ideal for all your digital photos as they are, without cropping the top and bottom or introducing black lines on the left and right. In fact when it does come across photos of a different ratio (usually from sources other than your digital camera) it'll display them with bright blue bits to fill in the gaps (it does not distort or stretch the image). This is an unsightly way of displaying them, so I just use this as a reminder to re-edit the picture when I re-connect the frame to my PC.
I've never been a fan of editing the pictures using the software on the frame itself, historically frame software is pretty limited, and this frame is no exception; don't bother trying to edit on it, do it on your PC first. The simplest way I have found is using Microsoft Office Picture Manager (part of the Microsoft Office package). Just open the picture on your PC (using Picture Manager) and then `Edit Picture', `Crop', then in `Aspect Ratio' select `3x4'. This creates a box on your photo showing you the 3x4 area you can keep, move this over the best bit of the photo and then select `Ok'. Save it and you are done. Simple adjustments, like red-eye and contrast, can also be done in this software package.
With 1GB of on-board memory you can store a lot of pictures on this frame, but it also has slots for CF, SD, XD, MMC and MS cards. The 2GB SD card supplied with it is a nice bonus. It has mini-USB `in' and full-size USB `out' (slave and host). The mini-USB allows you to access the on-board memory and actually edit the pictures using your PC while they are on the frame (although access rates slow the save down when doing it this way). A cable is supplied with the frame for this purpose (if you don't already one half-a-dozen of these).
The picture display order is not selectable (for instance, random), it just goes through them in the same set order. Not a problem if like me you just put it on and leave it on most of the day (it only uses 6 Watts of power). The photos can cycle at a selectable rate of 5, 10, 30 or 60 secs, or even 1 hour! The photo cycle method is also selectable, with the usual plethora of `top to bottom', `left to right', `door opening', `door closing' etc, but I think the only decent one is `Fade in & out'. The file formats are JPEG, MP3, MPEG1, AVI (JPEG Motion, DIVX / XVID / MS MPEG4). It has a resolution of 1024 x 768 and a contrast of 300:1. It professes to play music and video, but I have always been disappointed with previous picture frame performance on these tasks and never found a reason to want to do them with this one.
External measurements are W 405mm, H 330mm, D 50mm (without stand)
I'm very pleased with this frame, nothing fancy just good looking and good quality picture. So pleased I bought another one for my Mum!

very good value works fine key ring displays photos what more do you want for the price pics ok no problems at all
By J. Greenwood (UK)
This is such a neat little key chain and photo frame. It was easy to charge via the usb connection and the photos downloaded easily from My Pictures. Lovely to carry around to show family to friends you haven't seen for a while or to hold a selection of holiday snaps. Useful for carrying keys as well!
Brilliant. I bought two.
By E. Moor (england)
Ordered two of these and digital photo keyrings, is what they actually are, the screen was different on one of them. Never the less, they were loved by the family and they were really impressed, it holds 50 photos and is really cleaver little bit of technology, for 4.99 what more can you ask for, the cheapest on the net i think, grab one x
By Barry Whyte (London)
This item description is quite misleading. Anyone thinking of purchasing this should note:
- The quality of pictures on the screen is poor and the resolution low - it looks nothing like the quality you see in the item photo on this page
- The actual item has a very cheap looking logo underneath the screen - once again it is very different from the item photo on this page
- The item feels very cheap and is made from tacky, low-grade plastic
- This item WILL NOT WORK with Apple Macs. You can only transfer photos on to it using specialist software which is PC ONLY. This really ought to be mentioned in the description. Moreover, the software is supplied on a 3" CD-ROM (rather than a standard 5" CD), therefore it may not work with some laptop CD drives, such as those on a MacBook.
By Paul (London)
I bought this for my wife who was very pleased. For £15 it is good value. It's easy to use and the battery seems to last a while. Don't expect fantastic resolution for this money! In fact, my wife has asked me to order another one as a present for one of her friends!
