Optimus ™ 7" Digital Photo Frame Review

Great unit for the price.

"This is our first digital frame, so the low resolution was a bit of a shock. The actual resolution seems to be a RS secret - not even in the specs (nor is the screen size). Still learning to use the unit. The unit can be oriented either horizontally or vertically. So must your pictures, and on separate memory cards. But the vertical pictures must be horizontal, with the tops all in one direction. In other words, the frame only shows wide horizontal pictures. If you want to show vertical pictures, you have to turn them horizontal and then turn the frame vertical. I suspect the frame is 480x854 resolution, or 16:9 format - the same as wide screen TV. But most digital cameras seem to take photos in 1.5:1 format, and standard web resolution is 1.33:1. I don't think the far ends of the screen on this unit will get much use. Buy another? Perhaps at the sale price. But I'd look harder at specs like screen resolution and perhaps avoid the 16:9 if given a choice. A nice addition would be to add a USB port so pictures could be uploaded to the memory chip, but this would probably not be cost effective. Just add a chip slot to your PC [...]"
