Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Coby DP-758 7-Inch Widescreen Digital Photo Frame
Customer Review: UPDATED : Not pleased - ignore the stars
Summary: 5 Stars
UPDATE : Ignore the 5 star review I originally wrote. I've left it below but here's an update; unfortunately the other day the Coby frame failed on us. It powers up but the pictures are bleached white barely visible and it looks like every other scanline is missing on the display. Since the unit has no way of adjusting the brightness or contrast it's now unusable. Sure it has a 1 year warranty but Coby insist on you prepaying shipping both ways so it's simply not worth sending an item at this price-point out for repair. Totally disappointed and have since purchased a Philips frame which is considerably better (see my other review). Avoid Coby for their products and follow RMA procedure.

I received the Coby 768 7" LCD frame whereas Amazon has the 758 advertised - I don't know what they improved or changed.
This is my first LCD photo frame. I've always held back because I hear horror stories of how bad some of the frames are especially at the usually high price. But for under $50 I was willing to take a chance and I'm very happy to report this frame is great.
Some things to note - it doesn't come with a method of connecting to a PC nor does it come with any sort of storage card. You power it up and get a generic series of photos on screen, so if you don't have a way of reading a memory card then you'll need a card reader and card. It takes most of the recent formats, flash, SD etc and can read FAT and FAT32 formatted cards seemingly without problem. I had some Kingston 2GB SD cards lying around (bought from Amazon for about $5 each) and loaded them up with pictures and it's busy playing them now with a nice wipe transition between them. Sadly it seems as though you can't get it to default to play upon switch on, which seems a shame. If the power goes out you'll have to manually hit enter or play on the small remote. Small issue but in this rural town the power goes out a lot.
I'd also would've like to see a brightness/contrast option which is sadly absent.
When a picture is onscreen though the unit shines. It looks just like a photo in a frame! I'm blown away by how good and clear the pics are and haven't witnessed any problems with downsizing graphic issues as noted in other reviews. I have a variety of sizes of pictures on the unit, anything from 4MP down to 1MP and all pictures display perfectly. Perhaps that's one of the upgrades from the 758?
I've not bothered to add video or mp3s so cannot comment on that but if that's something you're after then it's there as an option.
All in all I'm 100% happy with this product and have no hesitation in recommending it. (Please read the update at the top)
