 Vivid digital photo frame with calendar/clock. Nov 19, 2009
By R. G. Hegeman
I bought this item because it was top rated by Consumer's Reports, and it has lived up to expectations. Also, when I had to contact their support people because my photos were not displaying in proper sort order, they responded quickly and with detailed instructions. (The problem turned out to be some corrupted files at my end, so the product wasn't at fault.) My single fairly minor complaint is that when switching between a display of photos only (slideshow mode) vs. photos plus calendar/clock (clock mode), the slideshow sequence reverts to the beginning. It would be nice if you could take a quick look at the date and time without always going back to the first photo. This is especially true since the photo size is quite a bit smaller when sharing the screen with the calendar/clock, so we generally prefer slideshow mode.

 Lots of issues, but I cant argue with the price Aug 13, 2009
By D. Rosenstark
"David"
Let me start by saying that I have nothing to compare this to as i have never had a digital frame before. And I will say also, i love the size, price and look of it. Now, onto the criticism. As with another reviewer, the remote does not work. i went out and bought a new battery, but no luck.
Since the onboard memory is small, we bought a memory stick and began loading all the pics onto that. I recommend doing this not via the frame as it will be much slower (not USB 2.0). However, when i turn on the frame, it will not default to displaying the pics on the stick even after i removed all the pics on the built in memory. In other words, you need to fiddle with it after you turn it on. It would be great if it remembered what it was last doing when powered off. I also found that i needed to reduce (export to 800 pixels), the pictures in order for them not to "flash" (display off color) sometimes, and even in the small version, I have seen an occasional flash.
Additionaly, just as with the large size pics, video seems like a no go, perhaps not enough RAM on it?
With all that said, it looks nice on display so perhaps for the price, it may still be worth it, not being familiar with how many of my issues are solved in the more expensive ones.

Digital Spectrum MF-1041 10.4-Inch Digital Picture Frame
There are hundreds of choices in the digital picture frame world. Digital Spectrum met my needs - budget, size, capability. I wanted a large, 3X4 format frame with the ability to play background music. A knowledgeable and responsive technical assistance link was a bonus. Simple, flexible, functional. I really like it.

Digital Picture Frame MF1041 (Feb/10) - Nice product! Feb 16, 2010
By Rick
This is the first frame I've bought. Earlier ones were not very flexible, software-wise. I'm really happy with this selection. It runs all day showing pictures of grandkids, vacations, and family life. It has inspired us to digitize our ancient 35mm slides which have sat in the attic for the past 25 years. I loaded some soft Mediterranean instrumental music which plays in the background while our incredible pictures of Italy are showing. I have seen my wife just standing in front of the slide show, captured. I programmed the frame to run everyday, we switch SD cards every few days to keep the images fresh. It's attractive, worked flawlessly from jumpstreet, and has brought nostalgic smiles to our faces each day. Is there a downside? In my opinion, yes a small one. It cannot play pictures in random order. So when preparing an SD card you have to be mindful of putting too may similar slides together lest you bore yourself and others. This takes lots of your time when a simple software addition (hopefully for me it could be an upgrade) could make this MF1041 an even better winner.

Digital photo frame Dec 27, 2009
By W. Park
I actually bought this item for my wife for Christmas, so I haven't used it all; but my wife quickly figured out how to program it. At the moment she has it set on a counter and it has been doing a slideshow of a day trip we took. We are both really impressed with it. Nice picture quality and she put music on as it has its own speakers. My wife is intending to put pictures on a flash drive which can be plugged into it and she can put photos on that she wants to show them. Then unplug the flash drive and revert back to the regular slideshow. The remote control is also very handy.
