Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Matsunichi "Photoblitz" 10.2-Inch 16:9 Digital Picture Frame
Customer Review: Lacks features it claims to have
Summary: 1 Stars
Pros:
Excellent color without being overly saturated or contrasty
Can adjust brightness, tint, and contrast
Fleshtones that are correct in the original image look normal on the screen [not orange like on a TV]
Good resolution [assuming your pictures have it]
Automatically adjusts for image size and orientation
Can adjust slide show picture duration for 3, 5, or 10 seconds
OK viewing angle
Cons:
A user interface that is OVERLY COMPLICATED, ostensibly through its attempt to be simple.
Extremely POORLY written user manual [some features don't work as described, or are non-existent].
Once the power-on state is initially set at first power-on, you are supposed to be able to go back and change it by doing a "Factory Reset" described under 3-7 "Setup". However, there are some instructions missing on page 24 which end with "i. Default. This will reset all settings to factory default mode. After doing a factory reset, the..." That's where it ends, i.e., in mid sentence.
Slide show starts with the same picture regardless of which one you highlight. The manual says that the slide show "starts/resumes based on Slideshow Settings in Setup", but there is no setting in the Setup menu that allows you to specify your option. Indeed, in the manual under 3-7 "Setup", page 22, there is no instruction on how to do this.
Slide show is random based on some criterion that is not apparent. This is a HUGE disadvantage if you want to show pictures in chronological order [e.g., of your kids growing up].
I chose this model with the expectation that it could be connected to a TV because the "Features" state "Audio/Video Output Connectors", because the description under "Features" states "Audio/Video Output Connectors", and under "Item Includes" is listed an "A/V output cable set" but THERE ARE NONE, no cables, no connectors. I suspect that I got a older or newer model that is different even though the model number is the same. The frame did include a USB cable with a normal connector on one end and a mini on the other.
There is a "USB Device Port" and a "USB Host Port". There is no explicit explanation as to whether these are inputs or outputs.
The remote's battery was DOA [yes, I removed the protective plastic tab.] A new one was $6 plus sales tax. I thought there was something wrong with the remote itself until I tried a new battery.
I returned it for a refund.
Would I recommend it to a friend? NO.
Would I buy this again? Definitely not.
