Aluratek ADPF08SF 8" 800 x 600 Digital Photo Frame Aluratek ADPF08SF 8" 800 x 600 Digital Photo Frame

Pros: Pics load easily. I cropped them in PhotoShop so I could include more, then loaded them on card. Runs perfectly.

Cons: None

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Second one that arived broken from the factory.

Other Thoughts: Manufacturer defects, several

Pros: none

Cons: Screen was flopping around with metal showing on one side.
Could not get the menu to work.Something was rattling inside.
Manufacture defects

Other Thoughts: I bought this and returned it for an exchange. The second one had the same issues. JUNK

Pros: Wanted a semi-cheap frame to showcase our family pictures, and this fit the bill. Quality is fine, we're viewing it from across the living room. I'm sure if it were sitting 3 feet from me, I'd get a higher res screen. Easy setup, in that there aren't a whole lot of options to choose from. Just transition type and stuff like that.

Cons: There really isn't any "random" mode for slideshow. Whatever order it decides for your pictures, that's the order you'll see. Forever. I'm not sure whether is uses filename or datestamp or something else to determine the photo order. Doesn't really matter because even if you manipulated it, you're stuck with that order.
Don't really mind the non-random, because as it stands now it goes sort of chronological, which makes sense.

Pros: cheap

Cons: died after 5 days use

Pros: Inexpensive

Cons: Does not initialize

Pros: The photos that work look good

Cons: I loaded about 105 jpegs onto a 4 gig sd card and only roughly the last 20 work. The rest say "no support" when you try to look at their thumbnails and are not displayed when in slideshow mode.

The documentation is also very sparse and gives no indication as to what files are supported or why this error might occur.

Pros: Nice picture. Some people have problems with unit. I turn it off at night with on/off button at back. Press this button again, and picture starts at the same first image on SD card.
Pictures appear in proper landscape or portrait mode.

Cons: none really, I was worried it might tumble off a shelf, so attached a small board to support post at back.

Other Thoughts: It works great for me. Interesting thing, as I add more images to the SD card, it plays them in a constant order, from first files I loaded on the card, to most recent, then starts all over again. Yet setup menu says playback is in random order?
When I first turn it on, (power button on back) the photo/setup page appears, but don't touch anything! Slide show starts in a few seconds.

Pros: Got this as a gift for a freind that I live with she is very happy with it, it runs 24/7 did not change any of the settings just plugged itin and it startedwith slide show did not try to change any settings so no idea howthey work maybeo ne day shewill want something changed in the meantime we just let it run

Cons: none that we know of

Pros: Simple, easy to use. USB and SD slots. Clean, simple appearnce. Display quality acceptable, though not what I would call outstanding.

In short, it was a decent digital frame for the price ($42.99 when I purchased mine in July 2011).

Cons: It died one year (and 2 weeks) from the time I got it. Power adapter still sending voltage to the plug, but no display, no nothing.

Other Thoughts: Something like this shouldn't "just die", especially only a few days after the warranty runs out.
