User Reviews ViewSonic 8-Inch Wi-Fi Digital Photo Frame
Jan 30, 2010 21:01:05
I bought this frame for one purpose: my sister and I have Smugmug accounts and we wanted our parents to have a frame that would automatically display new pictures when we posted them to our accounts. I tried several other frames and none could do this well.
The Viewsonic was easy to set up. Turn it on and the setup wizard begins - configuring your wifi connection. It worked with my (WPA2-PSK) secured wifi. Then I went online and signed up for a free FrameChannel account. The navigation of FrameChannel takes a while to get used to, but all the functionality is there.
I added the RSS feeds from the Smugmug galleries I wanted my parents to see. Then I went back to the frame and found (easily) in the menu where I would configure the FrameChannel account. This involved putting in my user name and a PIN code from the FrameChannel site.
Once this initial setup was done I went (on the frame) to "Pictures" --> "Frame Channel" and pressed the slide show button on the remote. Within a few seconds the first picture from my gallery displayed. It was a little slow, as the pictures were being downloaded by the frame, but there were not any errors. The quality on the display was good, not great, as colors were a bit washed out but the pictures were clear and not grainy.
It's great that I can add and remove RSS feeds to the frame on the FrameChannel site so that my parents never have to fool with that part and they will always have new pictures. I did send the frame in for an exchange because there was a piece of dirt under the glass that was visible in many of the pictures. It wasn't a major problem but did affect viewing so I've exchanged it for a unit that (hopefully) is free from defects.
This works excellently for my purposes and I'm glad to have found a reasonably-priced model that does.
