User Reviews 8" Digital Photo Frame

We also purchased the Venturer at Wal-Mart, note Amazon price is the same. The photo frame is perfect for me. Very simple design, no remote to loose and accepts my SD card. We have SD cards laying around here everywhere so I found a 16 M card from the closet and it worked perfect. Note, don't waste memory using pictures of 1 M in size, with this viewer you will not notice the difference. We also tried a PanDigital 6 inch and next to the Venturer. The Venturer picture was significantly better and the price was 35 % less for the Venturer. Don't let the simple Venturer packaging fool you. We are going to buy another Venturer for the family.. This time from Amazon. :)
Low end frame. Analog conversion. Low resolution. Poor viewing angles - ND Consumer - Fargo, ND
This is a very low-end frame. Picked this up at WalMart on black friday 2007. Returned it after comparing with an identical priced unit from Target that essentially had more features/less issues.
Primarily the display is poor resolution. Regardless of the inflated walmart claims of 640x480, it doesn't really have that much resolution. Not only is the screen grainy due to the pixel size, since it appears it's an analog conversion, much like a portable DVD player, the resulting images look like you are watching a DVD on an old-fashioned CRT television, not a nice laptop LCD screen. In other words, soft/blurry and also shimmering. Newer and more expensive panels now are all-digital, not going through this conversion, and using better quality panels with better resolution and viewing angles.
Also the viewing angles are poor. If you tilt the screen slightly up or down, the image quickly washes out or goes negative. Therefore someone standing in your living room will see a different image than someone sitting.
One benefit this unit does have is that it has many transition effects that other panels didn't seem to offer, things like window blinds, complete side push/wipe, displaying the new image in black and white then wiping color across it, and a few diagonal pixelation ones (though those took forever to draw creating annoying wait times).
The last benefit was that it allowed you to select if you wanted 4:3 material stretched to 16:9 or not. Some other ones always force the image stretched which looks bad, so you have to pre-edit your pictures to include black bars if you want them to look good.
