Smartparts SPDPF84M 8-Inch Digital Picture Frame (Wood)

The frame contained a file called Death.exe when accessed from my computer. Fortunately my virus scan detected and removed it. It was labeled Emerleox.worm by McAfee virus scan.

Little disappointed in the frame the picture it's self is smaller than I realized it would be. Also didn't get the remote, only good thing the company refunded me because of that & let me keep the frame so I guess I did come out ahead.

I bought this frame to replace one like it that I had for many years. It was exactly what I wanted. The picture is clear and it is very easy to operate. Using program that came with it and the internal memory, this frame holds a massive amount of pictures.

I've owned this three years now and I wish I had purchased a different brand. I had problems with the software from day one. Nothing worked the way it was supposed to and it was very difficult to get pictures loaded to the memory of the picture frame and then to edit the list of pictures once they were there. The manual was useless and their web site did not provide any support info. I figured out a way to get it work but it was cumbersome and time consuming to add/change pictures. After several months of putting up with this software, I finally gave up and used an external drive to store the pictures. This worked fine for two years.Whether using the unit's memory or my external drive, the slide show itself worked well and the picture display was of good quality. In addition, the frame had a nice look to it and, so, for a while, I was relatively happy with this unit.Then, in year three, without any warning, the entire unit just died. It now won't turn on at all, no matter what I do. I searched the internet and found loads of other people with the same problem. Again, the company's web site offers no support information or help at all. I would call the support number but, being well past the warranty, I know where that conversation will go and it isn't worth it for a unit I didn't like much in the first place. I am going to shop for a better unit and a better manufacturer and I would advise you to do the same.

The image quality is good, but the remote does not work, making it impossible to gain access to any of the functions. It took three attempts by the customer service person to get it right. In the end they had to send a new frame and remote. (The remotes and frames are manufactured in two different plants in China, and evidently they are paired and packaged in a third facility)

Looking at the previous reviews, this is only a picture frame and not a super computer. This product performs just fine, but you may need to resized large images. You cannot load this frame up with 1000 5mb photographs and expect it to act smooth like a desktop. Similarly for the MP3's you cannot load 1000 songs that are all done in HQ 360kbps...once again, it's a picture frame, not a desktop PC.If you have all HQ images I suggest editing them to a lower mb in Windows Picture Manager and burning mp3's at a lesser bit rate. The difference is not noticeable (considering this is not audiophile equipment) and performance of the frame will be much smoother. I have no problems with mine.

Works fine but no light adjustment. Good value for the price paid.

Eventually I figured out how to load jpg's which is all I wanted to load. The quality of the pictures on the screen are excellent. BUT, after I loaded it I wrapped it as a present and it was opened 4 days later. Guess what ? it wouldn't turn on, the remote didn't work but after many, many trying to turn it on, plugging and unplugging, it finally came on. The remote never worked and after about 4 1/2 months neither did the frame. We fiddled with the off/on switch, plugging and unplugging and finally gave up.Now we're a bit nervous about getting a new frame from any company since this one was a BAD experience. Don't buy this model.
