Comment: I tried to upload from ten to 50 images at a time. Each was circa 16Kb, with dimensions of 295 pixels wide by 400 pixels high. (Portrait orientation.)
It appears that this frame accepts some jpegs, but not others. However, documentation makes no allusion to what distinctions the frame is making when it receives uploaded jpeg images. Unless you're into hours of "well let's try this and see if it works," skip this product.
Summary: Feels a bit cheap.

Comment: I bought this for my mother, hoping it would be simple enough for her to operate. Not the case. She couldn't get the thing figured out.
The back to this frame is a bit cheap. I thought Philips could've done better.

Summary: Philips 6.5 inch frame - Junk!
Date: 2008-06-26 -
Comment: Overall this is a nice frame in terms of brightness and picture quality. Does not deal well with more than 200 or so pictures on the SD card - when you put more than that on the card the frame will freeze after 5 images in slideshow mode. The work around for this was to start the picture frame without the card in then to put the card in after the frame was on...didn't seem to freeze then. We bought 5 for gifts last Christmas for family. 3 of them are now completely dead (2 within 2 weeks, and 1 lasted 6 months), and everyone we gave them to had problems with getting the SD card to work (tried 5 different brands of SD card, it's the frame, not the cards with problems).
Philips customer support is non-existent - they do not respond to emails, and you can't get them by phone. Because of this I WILL NEVER BUY a Philips product again. This one clearly has serious hardware flaws seen in 5/5 of our frames (SD card does not work consistently), with only 2 out of 5 frames actually working after 6 months...Price and packaging are there to lure you in, but this frame is otherwise a huge waste of money unless you want a frame that will only last a couple of weeks (2 dead in 2 weeks, 1 lasted 6 months).
Had to argue with Amazon to accept them back as well...
Summary: Great little DPD for the price

Comment: This is the third model of Philips I've purchased. Their displays are great. The user interface requires trial and error. Compared to other units I've seen, it definitely has fewer features, but if you're looking for foolproof playback of your photos (and not videos and music) with clarity, high contrast, and wide viewing angle, this little unit is hard to beat for the price.
Summary: good buy

Comment: pros: clear, expandable, affordable
cons: small (good for office desk though), has to press a few buttons to play default slide show when power turned on.
