The Best 12 x 18 Frames Available
920204
I purchased a pair of these unusually sized frames for my unusually sized National Park posters. They aren't fancy, but they have a sleek modern look and seem to be quite sturdy. They seem to be by far the best option available for 12 x 18 frames!

A digital frame in general is a fantastic invention, and really a must-have if you have lots of family photos. This frame in particular couldn't be better, either. Set-up was simple, the display is truly breathtaking, and it works flawlessly so far, two weeks in. Worth every penny, for sure.

If you are wavering on which size to buy, definitely spend the extra for the 15", as the effective screen area is actually around 13", and I can tell I'd be bummed had I chosen a smaller model. 15' is really the perfect size.

This is an excellent digital frame. I just love it. The resolution is crisp. It has a very wide viewing angle. Also, the motion sensor works great.

The main reason I decided to buy a digital photo frame is because printing out photos from my Sony DSC-H5 on an Epson PictureMate to share with the family got pretty tiresome. Sure, the prints looked good, but printing them took a long time, they cost about 35 cents apiece and some of the older relatives couldn't see them very well. I figured a digital photo frame would improve the whole process. My requirements were simple: the frame must have very high resolution, be small and lightweight (for packing in a carry-on suitcase), and accept images via a Memory Stick and also via a standard USB interface (which many, I found, do not).

The Sony DPF-D810 meets all of my requirements with flying colors. The 800-by-600-pixel 8-inch-diagonal display is clear, crisp, bright and saturated. Photos display instantly, either singly, until you manually advance them, or in a slideshow with your choice of 10 time intervals from three seconds to 24 hours and with your choice of six transition effects. You can show the full image or crop it to fit the screen. If the aspect ratio of the picture is wider than 4:3, thin black bars appear at the top and bottom of the screen--the image itself is undistorted. You can display image information such as the time and date taken, camera type, shutter speed and aperture, EV compensation and more. The unit will show photos directly from an SD memory card, Memory Stick Duo or USB flash drive, or you can copy them to the internal memory, which holds about 150 high-resolution images. A mini-USB connector lets you transfer photos directly from your computer. You can choose from 14 different full-screen clock and calendar displays, or integrate a clock and/or calendar with six of the 10 different slideshow display options. Thus you can place this frame on a desk or mantel and run it all the time as a useful item of room decor. You can even choose whether or not to display the bright "Sony" logo on the lower part of the frame. All in all, this is a very impressive device that should satisfy the most demanding user. Plus, it is small (roughly 9 inches by 7 inches by 1 inch) and lightweight (less than 1-1/2 pounds, including the AC transformer and the remote control).

Speaking of which, the remote control is a great bonus. When I first set up the DPF-D810, I found it difficult to see the on-screen menus while manipulating tiny buttons with minuscule labels on the back of the unit. Then I used the remote. What a difference! You can access all of the frame's well-designed and logically arranged setup and functional menus with ease. Not all frames in this price category offer remotes. I didn't care about it when I selected this frame, but now I wouldn't be without it.

Even though I wanted a digital photo frame for just one simple purpose, I was pleased to find that this one far exceeded my expectations and offered much more than I needed for a reasonable price. If you're considering taking the next logical evolutionary step in digital photography by displaying your pictures on a photo frame rather than printing them, I highly recommend you consider the Sony DPF-D810.

I just purchased this lovely digital frame. I've uploaded about 25 photos and use the computer's built-in memory to store them. The resolution is fair, 600x800. I've seen much better resolution in more expensive frames. It has a sleep mode that shuts itself off at night, which is very nice, though I wish you didn't see the "ZZZ" on the screen to tell you it's active. It has a fit-in-frame function which does not appear to work. I called tech support and spoke to a nice guy who assured me he would get back to me if I sent him one of my photos to try on his frame. I'm still waiting to hear from him. All in all I guess you get what you pay for. It's a nice-looking frame with some limitations.

This frame is wonderful!  As another reviewer said, it truly takes only 90 seconds to frame a 2' x 3' poster.  And it looks very professional when complete.  Each edge of the metal frame flips up on hinges, allowing you to place the poster.  Then install the anti-glare cover, "snap" each side back down and you're done!  Note that this is only suitable for paper artwork, maybe thin canvas--space for inserting the poster is not very thick.  Was a bit pricey but a good value when compared to a 2' x 3' frame shop cost--and can be completed instantly!  Highly recommend.

I made some research into picture frames between 7" and 8".  A lot of them are wide-screen with low resolution.  I was pleasantly to find the Viewsonic 8" frame has a resolution of 800x600.  It is more than twice as much resolution for similar frames at the same price.  The picture is very high quality and is very bright.  The pictures from my SD Card were recognized right away.

One thing I would have like to be able to do is to put this frame on a wall; but it lacks the necessary screw holes in the back for doing this.  In light of this, I would still recommend this frame over the others.

I had tried the 15" version of the frame which was not HD and had three defective frames in a row so I exchanged the unit for this 13" HD version.  I'm very glad I did; even though there is less real-estate the LCD screen quality is superb. If they ever come out with a 15" HD version I'll be sure to grab it.

The frame does what they promise, you can configure accounts to download pictures from and have them appear on the frame. I have tons of pictures from Facebook, Flickr, and Instragram streaming to my frame.

The Good:
Excellent picture quality
Streams photos from multiple accounts
Setup is easy, I didn't even have to read the manual
You can turn on a clock to display on the frame, I never had a good place to put a clock in my living room so this is convenient
I love how the frame will turn off if there's no activity in the living room and turn back on when someone enters the room.

The Bad:
I can't say anything bad about this particular frame!

Suggestions for the future:
When you add pictures from an online source such as Facebook, Flickr, or Instragram, you have to select the pictures you want and publish them to the frame. It would be nice if you can select an option for dynamic updates that will automatically publish new pictures to the frame if you desire that like the old FrameChannel service used to do.

Wanted a bunch of smaller pictures framed, but didn't want to go to a professional framer because of the cost. These frames a beautiful. I was really impressed by the quality of the matting too. I bought these in both black and white, and highly recommend them. My art and pics now look professionally framed. Would definitely buy again.

I love my old NIX digital photo frame.  It is in the living room and has been on and running 24/7 for two years.  I bought this one for the kitchen.  The increased processing power has made the menus and remote much more responsive and it looks great.  Excellent picture.

I wish I could find a frame this size to display it like most people display their "the last supper" paintings. I love it.

Our wedding photographers pics were all this 8x12 so for our formal portraits with large family groups, this was the only frame I could find. The six pack was a great value!

Better than I expected.  They easily support a 12 x 15 framed picture.

It is serendipitous that my piece of art that I'm framing with one of these archival foam boards, is the exact size (20x30") of the artwork. This is an exceptional value. One must piece-meal each component of a framing job, or otherwise they will take advantage of you. For example, I was charged $45 for a 15x20" UV lens to cover another piece of art that I ordered earlier this month. By going elsewhere, I was able to purchase a 20x30" UV lens (same manufacturer) for $18. In other words, by getting a great deal on the frame (which was quality mahogany and excellently constructed), they took me to the cleaners on the UV lens cover (which is necessary because my two pieces of art are intricately drawn pencil art of wildlife from an artist whose talent is genius, and I don't want them smudged!). Now, I have ordered this acid-free board and a UV lens cover from separate web stores for a fraction of the cost, and will order just the reasonably priced "loss leader" mahogany frame (with their coupon, because I'm guessing they think I'll spend big time on another UV lens from them).

I highly recommend quality this archival foam board. You can always cut it down with an Xacto knife, or use archival tape to combine foam boards for bigger jobs.

This 15" (diagonal measure) digital photo frame was a Christmas gift to my adult daughter.  She tells me that she can't believe how terrific this frame is.  She is technically savvy, so uploading and photo management details are not a problem for her.  From my perspective, the frame is beautiful, the pictures are clear even for such a large image, and the perspective is very good from every angle I've viewed, including from left, right, and several feet below and across the room.  I was apprehensive about believing the other good reviews because the price was so close to that of much smaller frames.  But so far (I only bought the frame a month ago) I'm very happy with my purchase.  Good frame, good price.
