I just bought my pandigital 7-inch today and with the usb cable connected to my computer I could not get the remote or anything else to work..however, the computer did recognize it as a drive and I was able to access the internal memory..as soon as I unplugged the usb cable the remote and all other functions worked normally..have fun

I have purchased but not tried it out yet. I'm on vacation between Christmas and New Years and this is one of my projects I'm planning on working on during that time. I have already bought a SD card and that is how I'm planning on using it. Thanks for the response. It's great to hear from people who enjoy this frame.

Yes we can add photos, we actually have a few frames w/ some characters too, what theme were you looking for?

I only have about 300 photos on mine and it seems to eventually get to all of them, sometimes repeating some of them. My only suggestion would be to put the photos in ascending order ( and moving some to mix it up) and put the frame on photo order. Sorry I can't think of anything else.

I don't know about any one other than the one I bought. The last time I set it up, I left it with a stack of about ten 8"x10" color photos on it. When I came in the house about an hour later, one leg had collapsed and all the photos were on the floor. I threw it away after that.

I'm having the same problem. I bought this as a gift for my 87 year old dad. Got many relatives to contribute photos uploaded to mobile me, then installed the photos on the DPF D80. I set it up to display so my Dad wouldn't have to deal with any complex technology when he opened the gift. Now I can't figure out how to close the stand without breaking it. I really would prefer not to have to return the thing given all the effort that has gone into setting it up. Bleah.

Not that I can see. My pictures are the way they appear on the drive. I have had some problems with orientation, but I think I found the trouble...operator error. Some of the pictures because they are in portrait end up being small. But, I am no genius with this stuff. In any case we like the frame and would buy another.

Russell B. and MKF,Thanks for the answer. The lack of a portability explains the difference in price with the other Philips 7" frames. The ability to pass the frame around to view the pictures is a feature that I need.

They have a feature that will auto optimize the image for the frame. I have 40 of these frames around and so far they have been just what I was looking for.

try zooming in closer when trying fine detail. Make resolution of file you are making at least 300/dpi. Its a work around, but for $500 it would be a steal. I think its overpriced at USD 599. But couldn't ever afford ( justify to self ) Cintique, even the cheapie.

Thank you for your message. Due to the large size of the item, it is very difficult to find any cheap frames at, say, a big box store. I would imagine that the greatest part of the quote from a custom framing place involves the glass or plexi-glass component. I have had no reports from any of our recent customers who have attempted to get the poster framed, so I am not able to offer much advice. All I can suggest is that you do a search online. If you enter a keyword such as "poster frame" and search the available dimensions you may luck out and find something in your price range. Keep in mind also that, when dealing with such a large item, you should always wait to frame it until after you have received it and have had an opportunity to take your own exact measurements. The dimensions can be slightly off from what is stated on Amazon. This way, you will know exactly the size you are dealing with and be able to get a frame that will fit the item properly. One other suggestion that may serve your purposes and your budget: Some places (like Kinkos, for example) may offer lamination services. Laminating the poster should be, I should think, MUCH cheaper than framing and still provide a means to protect the poster from damage for several years. The only drawback obviously is that the lamination does not come off if you should ever need the poster in its original state. However, with the lamination, you can still roll the poster up for storage and moving purposes and easily rehang it. Please let me know if I can answer any further questions. Thanks Matt Bananaroad

Hello there Andrea. I am really not sure if the frame has that capability however what it can do is what I believe may be a "workaround." You have the ability to upload your photos onto an SD card. Those pictures are uploaded in the order you indicate such as folder names or dates etc. If your looking to display photos of Christmas you may do so either by photo name or date or random within the specified folder. That way you can play the holidays in order of year and even further filter by person/child. Now, what I do is something I have gotten quite a bit of feedback on. I have two children that I have taken on several trips all over the globe. I fly for a commercial airline so I have well in excess of 20k photos. I have them randomly playing from randomly chosen folders with random transition between photos. So literally you never see the same photo twice. All in all you have to remember, you are going to get out of your frame only what you are willing to put into it. Also, at this price point, you simply cannot beat the performance. One piece of advice, just when you think you have ordered the right size, go larger. I have quite a few now and truly the larger size frames are incredible. I hope this helps! Best and good luck!

Yes! I scanned and downloaded old photos to my computer, then edited to a "4 x 3 Book" size, landscape orientation. They came through on the frame very well. I'm very happy with this frame and am considering buying another.

The frame works well with photographs, the resolution is good and if the photo was taken horizontally, fits well. The video mode operation is very poor, I am very disappointed of its use in video mode.

Get a picture frame with glass on both sides and hang it like a normal painting. That's what I did!

The mounting frame sits exactly flush with the left and right borders. I use it for photo and video and haven't had any issues. In my opinion, it fits.

I would love to help you but I purchased a 16 x 20 to fit a 11x 14 matted print. I can tell you the frame is awesome.
