Customer Reviews: Average Rating: 3.0 out of 5

good: Rating: 4 out of 5

Gave it as a present to my parents who really liked it. Unfortunately they got burgled so never got to see it!

It really works: Rating: 4 out of 5

This attractive little gadget really is simple to use and its picture quality is better than that of its competitors.

A larger screen would be nice (but perhaps much more expensive).
There are just two mounting alignments (portrait or landscape) and no angle adjustment (but I soon forgot to worry about that).

The memory slot is rear-mounted (for beauty?) and parallel to the case, hence a little bit fiddly for those with ten thumbs.

Mains powered, therefore not suitable for passing around the room.

If you like to click through your pictures rather than run them as a sequence then you'll need to practice with the buttons, but that is not exactly difficult....

I tried to make mine fail by loading a wide variety of pictures including 'bitmapped' files (the gadget likes 'JPEG' i.e. standard photo files) but to my surprise it coped with almost anything. The worst I could make happen is partial misframing, which occurred occasionally as the system did a mix transition between two pictures which were utterly mismatched in every parameter. Being somewhat techie myself I'm aware of the degree of difficulty it dealt with.

Good value and impressive performance in a neat package.

Incompatible with Samsung camera!: Rating: 1 out of 5

Very disappointed with this...
I wanted a frame that was very easy to use for my technophobe mother and, although the picture quality was very good, and the slideshow started straightaway, it was very slow and I had numerous problems.
I was particularly keen on the auto-rotation feature - a previous reviewer said that it automatically recognised EXIF rotations. This didn't work at all. So I rotated them on the PC instead. More importantly however, these rotated images were shown as "invalid" when viewing the thumbnails. This is despite the fact that they were taken with a Samsung DSLR camera, and not modified at all other than rotating them. I then had more problems uploading images to the frame memory - it could only manage about 6 at a time before claiming that the memory was full (which it wasn't)
I contacted Samsung technical support, who suggested I probably had a faulty item, so I returned it to Amazon and got a replacement. Exactly the same issues, so it was either from a faulty batch or the product is just not up to scratch.
I then went a bought an 8" hi-res Jessops frame for less money and with more features which is fab (still meets the "switch on and it works straightaway" criterion, and it doesn't have a stupid logo on the front).

DONT UPGRADE FIRMWARE TO 1.011.2 !!!!!!: Rating: 4 out of 5

Excellent photo frame. Due to my fiddling intentions though - I looked up the latest firmware which promptly rendered it unusable. Off to samsung to be repaired at the moment.

While it worked -

The pictures were bright, colourful, and very sharp. It is very good resolution. The user interface could do with some work as it is not very intuitive, but for doing the job it was intended to do - it's great.

Especially like the automatic, timed on/off feature.

Very good frame .

I have used the rest now see the best: Rating: 5 out of 5

I must admit I am baffled by some of the bad comments this product has received. So let's have a general overview before a summarisation.

I am not going to go into depth of how certain manufactures use other manufactures basic displays or am I going to deliberate on the quality of components used by budget vendors compared with "quality" vendors.

What I can say for sure is that SAMSUNG is one of the vendors that are in the top elite companies that manufacture LCD displays. These range from TVs to computer displays to this photo frame. You only have to read the rave reviews they get for their TVs and computer screens to realise that they are pretty good at what they do. Just in the event you think I am biased towards Samsung, I have a Pioneer plasma TV -better technology for TVs- and two Samsung PC LCDs. These were purchased through a pain staking process of review, technology research, and demo as I am not one to spend my hard earned cash on something that is not going to last or is not going to give me what I want.

Reviews: reviews are great before you purchase a product as it gives you a feel if something is good or not depending on the believable accuracy of the reviewer.

I read the review by the aforementioned chap that traversed though every outlet until he purchased the Samsung. For me it was a "from the heart" detailed review. But as sceptical as I am I decided to see for myself -pretty good advice to anyone- as the purchase was for a very much loved family member. The reviewer's comments were 100% accurate this is the best photo display I have seen to date.

Quality of picture and technology awareness.

If you have a poor quality photo on a PC e.g low resolution, blurred, etc. then it does not matter what medium you use to present the photo, it will always look sub standard -unless of course you can sproose the picture up by having a degree in photoshop.

The product is one of the few that is high resolution, top quality and beats the rest on construction, presentation and what it is supposed to do....display your photos exceptionally well.

Ease of use

I remember when the first VHS and betamax "hardware" arrived in the early 80's back then my older family members found the technology unworkable. Some people mention today that you need a degree to operate a mobile phone or PDA. Sorry chaps I am no spring chicken and if I can do it anyone can. I never read the manual for this device, switched it on and read what the on-screen display showed me. Quite frankly any young person in their teens would laugh at the ease of simplicity with transferring files and setting the device up. I read one review that stated the Samsung screwed up their PC! Really, you have got to be kidding, it's a USB connection not a virus -don't believe me research it for yourself.

Another reviewer mentioned they received the wrong power supply! Is this a fault of the product of did the supplier source the product from the US or other global market to replenished back dated stock. The reality is because someone gave you a product meant for another region, is not an excuse to say it does not do what it does well.....display super images.

Summary: This is the best display I have seen to date. There is another version that is Wi-Fi enabled meaning you can have a larger photo base -from PC- than be restricted to the on board storage or memory card limitations. My best advice is.....don't believe me, check it out for yourself. I am off to buy another one for another family member. Happy shopping
