8.5" DPF Viewing Area Built in memory stores up to 2,000 photos* Accepts SD/MMC/MS/xD memory cards and USB devices 20% more viewing area than 7” digital photo frames Automatic Slide Show Functions Supports JPEG files No computer required Includes: 128MB Built-in Memory, AC Power Adapter, USB Cable & User Manual Dimensions: 9.3” H x 12.6” W x 1.5" D System Requirements: PC - Windows 2000 or higher 1 Year Limited Warranty *- Product comes with “OptiPix Pro” image-compression software application pre-loaded on the Frame’s internal memory. Follow instructions beginning on page 9 of the included User Manual to install the software on your computer. This easy applicati on downsizes/compresses your images for optimal display on your Omnitech Frame, and allows the user to put the maximum amount of images into the Frame’s internal memory by making the images smaller (thereby each image takes up less space on the Fr ame’s internal memory).

- Note that the software only runs on a PC. The Frame itself does NOT compress the images. You must install the OptiPix Pro software onto your computer and do the actual image-compressing on your PC, THEN copy the c ompressed images from your PC to the Frame, in order to maximize the benefit and number of images the product can store in memory.

not as good as expected

"good basic product for the sale price on black friday ([$]). angle of viewing has major affect on colors, expecially darks. The pixel quality poor compared to my computer monitor. long frame crops pictures (usually bottom) so pictures not centered. Light from ceiling light reduces colors due to angle. After 1 day of use I will probably return item and seek higher quality with standard box...." Read Full Review »
