After ordering this picture frame for both sets of parents for Christmas we were pleasantly surprised with the value we found in the Opteka frame. It is huge and the picture quality is great! We couldn't believe how great everything looked. The frame is a nice neutral warm brown frame, and it comes with a pretty easy to use remote. We put pictures on an SD memory card right away and when we installed the memory card the frame played it right away which was great, HOWEVER we could not figure out how to randomize them from the SD card- they went in order. I spent a good 45 minutes trying to figure out how to make this work with no luck. I saw another reviewer say the same thing. I renamed the files in Windows which allowed the order to be more random on the memory card but FYI the SD card will play in order. That would not deter me from buying the frame again (I think we might buy another one actually for my house) but it's something nice to know. Other than that we could not be more happy!

The picture size, resolution, and quality is fantastic. The firmware and internal memory are garbage.
We purchased this as a gift and we wanted to pre-load it with photos. What happened next was similar to what has been described in some other reviews.
The first batch of photos that we put on it worked fine. However, when we tried to add more photos, some of the files became corrupted. We tried loading again and just when it looked like they were all OK and going to work, all of the files names were turned to nonsense. The file names had strange symbols in them and there was no rhyme or reason to them. When we tried to change the file names or delete some of the files, permission was denied.
The only solution was to format the internal drive, erasing everything. Then we could go back and start over, loading a batch of photos, which would work. The instant that we tried adding more photos, corruption. It also corrupted files when we tried to copy over from a USB drive or memory card. It seemed to do fine showing pictures from the memory card directly.
We thought about keeping it and just re-formatting the drive every time we want to add more photos, but thought that if it has this problem, what other problems will appear?

I've had this a grand total of 7 hours, some concerns that I will explain. Overall, for the price you can't match it in department stores. BUT, here are some things to think about.
Mine flickers the first 30-45 seconds after turning it on. I can't figure out why, maybe the operating system booting up? Anyway, it soon disappears and the pics look great.
I think people are loading up large picture files, maybe 12 mega-pixels, that is why we see low rankings. If you load these it will play the file, but it does go slow. I recommend doing a batch conversion and keeping the files below 500K. It really doesn't impact all that much on picture quality, you only need about 70 dots per inch (DPI) for an LCD screen. A simple way to do batch conversion is a free photo editor called IFRANVIEW.
Playing music will slow it down, by that I mean the transitions take longer between slides. Not a biggie, but does tax the system a little bit.
The cheap plastic stand is nearly useless, I plan to use gorilla glue to make sure it doesn't fall apart. Really poor quality, but not a deal killer.
Cord comes out on the side, wish they would make it exit on the very back.
Format your SD card or USB to FAT32 if you are a windows user! THIS IS NOT IN THE MANUAL. I had tried an NTFS formatted SD card and it took me about an hour to figure out why it wouldn't read it.
Lastly, organize your pics into folders. For some reason just dumping them in the internal memory slows it down too.
Anyway, hopes this helps people. The fit and finish of the front of the frame is fine. NO DEAD PIXELS on mine, excellent screen quality. The viewing angle is a "little tight" but not bad.
Can anyone comment here on the "flickering" when turning on the device?
Thanks.

I just got my frame in the mail and am preparing for Christmas. Spent two hours and could not get the frame to work. I am convinced that it is defective. The directions are not terribly helpful - for something that costs over $100, the directions are made for a cheap item. Reall poor product quality - DO NOT BUY THIS ONE.

After ordering and receiving this frame I was pleased with the quality of the picture display and decided to order two more as gifts. From the begining I was never crazy about the ease of use of the software but since I loved the size and quality of the picture display I decided to overlook the fact that the software is not exactly user friendly. Now I'm just irritated. I have had to send back two defective units that were defective right out of the box and possibly a third that has stopped working after it was already set up and working fine. I understand all about human error but now it seems that this product and maybe the Opteka brand is just junk. They have no contact info on their website so I can't even get a tech to help troubleshoot with me until they decide to contact me. That's just ridiculous!
