 "It was good while it lasted" | 2008-08-04 |
| - Reviewed By ejoyce |
| My husband bought this digital photo frame for me in March 2007 and it was great. The image quality was good, it was simple to use, and I received nice comments on it in my office. Fast forward to June 2008 and the screen started to flicker every so slightly. Fast forward again to August 2008 and the screen started to pixelate and now it is dead. The frame won't even turn on. If you're buying this beware of the short life. |

 "Great Product at Works as Advertised!" | 2008-04-11 |

| Can't complain about this product for it works as advertised. The only thing that bothered me was the load time was a little slow especially when you import larger picture files. But with the right software and time you can make it work flawlessly. Good luck and cheers! |

| It works as advertised. All you need to do is drop in a memory card and it just works! Could be a better picture, but for the price, a good value. |

 "Lasted almost a year" | 2008-01-14 |

Well, it did everything I expected it to do for 11 months and now its dead. I wasn't expecting much due to its price last year and it worked like a charm up till a few weeks ago, when it would occasionally shut itself off. That became more and more frequent until today when it will power up, display the first picture, the display will degrade and go green and pixelated and then it shuts off. Over and over again. Time for the trash bin.
Regardless of the price (unless it was free), something like this has to last longer than 11 months. Judging from the reviews, I won't be buying a replacement frame from Mustek. |

| "Aspect ratios will not allow frame to fill without distortion" | 2007-11-15 |
| - Reviewed By ekaplan112 |
| The two aspect ratios programmed into this frame (16:9, 4:3) are not appropriate for the size of the frame. Neither of them allows the image to fill the frame without distortion. It would be nice if the manufacturer would add an additional choice of 'fill frame' to the list. Other than that it is a nice little frame. Just know that you will have black borders on two sides or distortion of your image. |

| "Not worth the money-- no matter how inexpensive" | 2007-11-09 |

| I have buyers remorse-- I should have spent the extra money and bought a real digital photo display product. The aspect ratio is crazy, the pictures fuzzy and distorted. If having to resize and recrop your photos sounds like "easy to use" then you've got more time than I do! Net-net, don't buy it. |

I bought this product for my mother and my mother-in-law. It has a picture that looks great from far, but is far from great. If you're 5 feet away or more, you will not notice the pixelation. As you get closer, however, you will start noticing every pixel on the picture. The transfer of images is simple and the speaker is a good addition. The speaker isn't the greatest, but how many picture frames do you know that have a speaker, it's not for music videos, it's for pictures.
Overall: Great gift idea, and if you want perfection, go ahead and spend that $150-$200 on another 7" frame. This one is just right for my wallet. |

The main disadvantage of Mustek PF-A700B 7-Inch Multimedia Digital Photo Viewer is the format 16:9. It would be ok, but even if I cut my photos to this format, it doesn't show it fullscreen mode. It remains black stripes at the top and the bottom as if it shrinks my foto from 4:3. I believe this could be solved, but I haven't found the solution yet.
I'd recommend bying Coby DP772 7-Inch Widescreen Digital Photo Frame with MP3 Player. It's not as expensive as Philips (which are the best Digital Photo Frames) but it's more user-friendly. |

| The product performs exactly how I expected it to for the price. It's bright and unless you're extremely close the screen, the picture quality is just fine. Only complaint is that it has a hard time displaying very dark images, which isn't to much of an issue if you have any experience with photo editing software to brighten the image up. |

This handy little tool is a nice way of showing off hundreds of your beloved pictures without having to fumble around with prints.
Resizing is a must with larger size images. I recommend either 640p or 800p to give you a really good picture. (Resizing is simple w/ the use of a Pic. program like: Picasa.)
You can also use it to view on a TV.
Drawbacks are: Not free to take anywhere/needs a power outlet; there's no cover for it, so, the screen can get scratched.
Overall though for the price you really can't go wrong with this one.
