 Screen size May 30, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I was surprised to see that the size of the screen was nowhere like 8 inches wide (or diagonally) as described by sellers and by the manufacturers.
The width was only six and a quarter inches and the diagonal size (as measured for TV and computer screens) was only seven and a quarter inches. Thus the screen was about the the same size as a standard 6x4 inch photoprint, which was disappointing.
Are we all being deceived? Should the Trades Description Act be invoked?
 Beware Mac Users! May 26, 2008

After I'd sent the first one back due to dead pixels near the middle of the frame, I was initially pleased with the picture quality. It had noticeably better resolution than the Agfa frame I bought from Argos at the same time. However, it kept going blank for several seconds between photos when in slide show mode. I decided to give the Agfa as a Xmas present as it was much easier to use, and try and solve the blank screen problem with the Linx.
5 months later, after wading through the web, I've realised that this frame doesn't like photos transferred from Apple Macs, as each jpeg contains an extra hidden file which the Linx tries to read but fails, thereby causing the blank screen syndrome.
I've just tried some photos transferred to SD card via Windows and they play with no break at all, which seems to proves the theory.
I know some people might say, well if you WILL use a Mac, but how come the Agfa frame copes perfectly with the Mac OS?
As I can also boot Windows on my Macbook, there may be a long-winded way round this, although all my photo software is for Mac, so it'll be complicated. So...you Apple-heads have been warned!
 Good value March 2, 2008

This was our first foray into digital photo frames and the reviews of this one really helped.
Firstly the manual is next to useless but with a little trial and error you can load images and display them in minutes.
The resolution is really good with a large viewing angle.
Still working on the right size images to display to avoid the black edges or cropped pictures.
Once you work out where the receiver is on the frame the remote works well.
Old scanned photos look like new and the colours in digital photos are sharp and clear.
Good value product and does what it says on the box.
Shame about the manual.
 Still havent got it working February 14, 2008

I also had this for xmas. After setting it up, it would only play about 6 pictures before the screen went blank. Now i am on my second one and again the screen goes blank, but this time after play about 25 pictures. Is it me or is there a fault. I read on another review somebody else said there screen went blank for several minutes, do you know how to fix this!
Easy to use - great quality - Recommended February 3, 2008

I bought this frame for my girlfriend for Christmas. I am very impressed with the quality and, overall, it is easy to use. The battery feature is a must and the remote is a big plus too
The down side is - the manual isn't great and the user interface is tricky to use but the basic operations are straight forward
Overall this is highly recommended and if I was buying another digital photo frame I would happily buy this one again
