Re: Fw: [ukha_d] Digital Photo Frame - Under £50 Delivered!



Just been playing with mine, think it's well worth it for 50 notes,
certainly brings it into Xmas present price range.

Haven't got anything else to compare it to but think the image quality is
ok..... certainly alright for sticking on a desk at work or in the front
room for wow factor when relatives visit.....

The usb port / adaptor lead is for hooking up usb memory sticks, I haven't
tried it with a usb hard drive yet though......

Overall I think it's pretty good, only thing that was a bit disappointing
is
the clear bezel lets you see the power cable and any memory sticks plugged
in.

Hi All,

Just unplugged mine. Actually pretty dissapointed to be honest. I have
the Philips one discussed a while ago too for comparison.

This new one has poorer image quality, poorer angle for viewing. It
looks cheap too and is quite a bit fatter than the philips.

All in all the Philips is a way better item and is worth the extra
£50.
