Customer Review: Great Gift!
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this item for my 83 year old Grandmother. She is not computer literate, so when my Mother gets emailed pics of any of the Grandchildren or Great-Grandchildren, it is difficult for her to see them unless they get printed. She misses so many wonderful photos. With the additional purchase of a 1GB memory card she can have a great deal of photos to view all at once!! The ease of use and the quality of the digital display is amazing! I have it all set up for her, all she has to do is turn it on and the slideshow will begin. As those photos age, or new ones come in, my Mom can transfer them right to the memory stick and no more 8 1/2 x 11 photo papers laying around the house! The price was unbeatable! I looked for a great deal of time before finding this quaility at this price!! Well worth it!Customer Review: poor image quality, long transistions, but easy to use
Summary: 2 Stars
I was very concerned about image quality, and read multiple reviews before ordering this product. It was very inexpensive, and looked so when I plugged it in. The image looked faded, like their was a film over it, just not clear and sharp, not vivid. And I had it plugged in and looking at it from about 6 feet away. Also, many of the transitions are very slow, and don't allow you to see the photo during the transition. If I could have cut out all of the transitions altogether I would have been happy to! Would not buy this product, am returning it as we speak.
On the positive side, it was very easy to use, I was up and running in 5 mins.
Unfortunently think I am going to have to spend over $100 to get what I want.
Customer Review: Good with a little compromise

Well, the product is good for its price. But, the fact that the pictures do not fit your screen well irritated me initially until I found out a solution. You need a software to convert your 4:3 pictures to 16:9. The software I used is "JS PhotoPrep". You can convert all your pics at once. Once you download and install, check mark both "Perform Crop" and "Perform Resize". Select Crop ratio as 4X6 and "Desk-view" in Perform Resize with a High quality (for enlarging). Now use these pics on your Coby Photo frame. Once you get into the slide show mode, click the right arrow twice to get into the full screen mode. You should be able to see your pics coming on the full screen without distorting it. Hope this helps.Customer Review: Good deal for the money
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this for my wife for Christmas. It does work well. The pictures could be a little sharper but you are not paying $150. For use on an office desk or on your mantle the picture is good enough. The only problem that I had was that I bought the directly through Amazon. There is a spot on all there web pages that says customers who bought "this" also bought "this". The item that was reconmended to go with the frame was a SDHC card. The frame only works with a plain SD card. I bougth the SDHC card and also tried a card from my camera that is a high speed SD. Neither of these work. Other than that the frame is a good deal and I would recomend it.Coby DP-758 7" Widescreen Digital Photo FrameCustomer Review: Widescreen is more trouble
Summary: 3 Stars
The product seems nice. The quality of the frame was not that great. It was a little rough around the inside of them frame where it sould have been smooth, but not that noticable. It was pretty ease to use. But if you want your picture to be in widescreen then you have to jump through some hoops. I had to get an image program from the web and resize the images. Then you have to deal with some images beting stretched. You don't have to do this but if you don't all the images will not be widescreen and will have black on the sides of the picture and it looks kind of cheap. The instruction manual or the manufactures web site had nothing about resiging images.
