Attractive, works well (but see update), September 8, 2007

[ September 2007 ]

Good:

- Bright high-resolution display. (Watch out for the DPF-0801, lower resolution and less internal memory.)

- MosaicView is occasionally nice, though we don't usually use it. With it, you get a new picture every few seconds but any given picture stays displayed for 4x as long.

- It hung when I had a 0-length JPEG file, but otherwise has been 100% reliable for displaying stills.

Bad:

- Does not include a USB cable to connect it to a computer.

- When I tried connecting it to a computer, the connection was unreliable. However, I wasn't planning to use the internal memory anyway, so I didn't try to figure out where the problem was - could have been the frame, the computer, or the cable. I use pictures on memory cards.

- Memory Stick protrudes past the right edge of the frame. SD is better.

- If you have many pictures and want to select a particular one to... Read more

Westinghouse DPF-0802
800x600pixels, USB/miniUSB to 128MB internal, all common cards, 6 3/8" x 4 3/4" display area (8" diagonal), 10" x 8 3/8" outer frame dimensions (measured).
No extra border between lcd and frame -nice.
Retains last setting after being unplugged (checked up to 24 hours).
Nice display quality.
Outer frame is quite nondescript, a plus as it does not compete with images. Does not look 'cheap' or flimsy, some others do.
Whining sound is a non-issue.

Professionally, I'm an imaging scientist (not kidding, we really exist), so choosing this model took a fair bit of time thanks to the relatively difficult process of finding any technical description of the photo frames currently on the market, or even accurate general descriptions for that matter. Then there is the issue that most of these are not available to see in a store.

The goal:
..to find a frame for my grandparents, who are not computer... Read more

The creme de la crem of smaller picture frames, hi-res and full on memory., May 1, 2007

Wiseguy 945 (Cedar Rapids, IA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Westinghouse 8-Inch LCD Digital Photo Frame (Electronics)

This is a bit more in price than some of the smaller frames, but this one is outstanding in quality. Again, it has the standard multi-media card reader, MP3/MPEG playback, and 128mb internal memory (model 801 westinghouse has only 8mb). But the greatest feature of this model is the 800x600 pixel quality high resolution screen, which is even better than the 10 inch frame by westinghouse(800x480). Hard to beat quality for about $60 more than standard 7" frames with 480x234 quality. This frame also features the mosaic view (4 pictures side by side rotating), which is great looking on the high resolution. Check this one out, worth the investment.

Well, I've owned this frame for about a week now and it's not all that bad. My photos are clear and I love the remote control (which my last frame did not have). The most important feature I was looking for was the 'no limitation on amount of photos'. Although it has an internal memory, it reads directly from the size of memory card you insert. Unfortunately, this frame does not have a timer which would allow it to turn on/off at designated times. I have to give kudos for the delivery, it shipped the same day I ordered it. And I received it within 3 days even though I live in HI (a near miracle). Overall, a pretty good purchase.

14Sep10 - OK, owned it for a few weeks now and thought I'd give an update. The frame does not allow the pictures to be displayed randomly. They only display one way, which is the way they are listed on your memory card. Also, occassionally a picture will not fully display and still show part of the last picture.

Ceiva Digital Photo Receiver Model LF2000 for $119.95

Customer Rating :

List Price : $149.99 Price : $119.95

Amazon.com Review

Ceiva put the future in an unassuming black picture frame with this amazingly simple yet innovative product. This Internet-enabled frame makes it so easy to receive and display digital photos that even the most tech-shy relatives will love it. The traditional frame houses an LCD screen that displays up to 20 pictures in a single-view or slide-show format. Once a day, the frame dials in to Ceiva's Web site and downloads any new photos that have been sent to you (or that you've uploaded). What's truly amazing is that it works flawlessly--it's a cutting-edge technology idea that's well executed.

The frame itself is a handsome classic black with a black matte. It's about the size of a standard 8-by-10-inch frame, and the viewing area is about 5 by 7 inches. The display resolution is 640 x 480 VGA, and the images are displayed as JPEGs. We were impressed with the picture quality, especially considering the display is passive matrix--colors were a bit washed out, but otherwise pictures were sharp, bright, and looked good. The viewing angle isn't great--you won't be able to see pictures well from the side--but overall, the screen worked very well, even in relatively bright light.

You do the bulk of your setup online at Ceiva's Web site. Here, you can lock, delete, upload, or send photos, and you can adjust the rest of your settings, such as the slide-show interval or the time the Ceiva turns off the display every night. (The standard setting shuts it off from 12 a.m. to 4 a.m.) Within your account, you can choose who can send pictures to you (your "Buddy list"). Your buddies don't need to own Ceiva photo frames, but they have to get Ceiva accounts, which are free. In addition to photos, you and your friends can send and receive any kind of digital image, from hand-drawn cards to scanned art. Subscription channels even let you get comics, weather and traffic reports, and horoscopes on a daily basis. Ceiva's site also provides simple tools to add messages to your photos.

The controls on the Ceiva are extremely easy to use--there is one button that adjusts brightness and another button to stop the slide show and dial-up on demand. If you want to download pictures immediately (for instance, right after your mother calls and tells you she just sent a new batch), you press and hold the settings button on the frame until it connects.

You don't need an extra telephone line to use the Ceiva--the photo frame uses your existing line for just a few minutes every night. Ceiva provides a Y-connector in the box to make it easy for you to plug the frame into your phone jack without disconnecting your phone. The photo frame also doesn't require you to have an Internet connection to download photos, although a subscription is required to download photos. The subscription costs $79.95 per year to maintain this service via a local connection, and multi-year plans are available starting at less than $5 a month. However, if you want to upload pictures, send them to other people's Ceivas, or modify certain frame settings, you'll need to use an Internet connection.

Overall, our experience using the Ceiva was simply wonderful. It's intended to be simple to use, and it does a great job receiving and displaying photos. It strikes us as the perfect gift for your mom and dad, your grandparents, or any long-distance friend who is computer-shy. Not to mention that the Ceiva photo frame is just plain cool! --Michael Lewis

Pros:

Extremely easy to use
Good picture quality
No existing Internet account necessary
Others can send you pictures for free

Cons:

You must adjust most of your settings on the Web site

An ideal gift for even the most non-technical parents or friends, the Ceiva digital photo receiver downloads your latest digital photos
Simple plug-and-play connection and 1-button operation--owner or user needs no computer skills or Internet access
Upload photos to your Ceiva Web account; the Ceiva downloads automatically and displays them in slide-show mode
Sharp, bright VGA resolution (640 x 480 pixels)--thousands of colors
Requires subscription to Ceiva Network; low monthly rates available

Fabulous, May 31, 2001

Bruce (Seattle, WA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ceiva Digital Photo Receiver Model LF2000 (Camera)

I just got one to give to my technophobe mom on Mother's Day. I am extremely impressed. It's attractive; it looks far more like a picture frame than an electronic device. The photo quality, while not quite as good as an average computer monitor, is quite respectable. It was extremely easy to set up and get working. And it works perfectly.

The frame cycles between 20 pictures that you've uploaded to the Ceiva web site, showing each for between 5 seconds and 2 hours (the time is up to you). It downloads new pictures from the web site automatically every night; you can also force it to download immediately. You can store up to 1000 (I think) pictures on the web site, and the frame will rotate them, choosing 20 different ones each day. You can also tell it to keep pictures until further notice, or have it choose one picture randomly each day from each of 20 albums that you establish online, or show "channels" like the local weather and prime-time TV schedule, or any...

Not something I want in my house!, April 5, 2000

By A Customer

I was initially very excited about the idea of a digital picture frame, but my expectations were not met when I got my frames. (Yes, I ordered two!) I was very surprise regarding the quality / appearance. The front of the frame has a large black mat that has the Ceiva name in large letters on it. (They could have been more subtle...) Also, the glass on the frame makes it very difficult to see the photos due to glare. The frame itself looks like a Walgreen's special. The back is made out of cheap black cardboard and the outer frame looks like it cost pennies to make. Unless you want something that has that bargain look, I say wait until there are more options on the market. When you pay this much money, you expect something that looks nice and is built to last. Also, I think just being able to download photos from their website is an inconvenience. I want to download pictures from my computer - or - better yet, from my compact flash card! Another annoyance - when you... Read more

Experiences with Ceiva, April 6, 2000

Stuart McKechnie (Saratoga, CA) - See all my reviews

I was really excited when I saw that this product was available. I ordered it, and received my Ceiva promptly. So far so good.

Hooked it up and that's where the problems started. Not only did my photos not appear (the ones I'd uploaded to the website, which seemed to work fine), but later in the evening a lady called me asking why I kept calling her. She sounded really stressed. Later she called me again and was on the point of calling the police when I realized that my brand new Ceiva was calling her. And she had caller ID.

Well, Ceiva technical support were very helpful and told me about an undocumented feature for resetting the dial-in number (I don't know WHY they didn't put that in the manual). And the poor lady didn't send the police, so, OK.

My previously uploaded features didn't appear however. Seems Ceiva had changed their software version and "forgotten" what I'd previously spent an hour setting up. I went through this again, so, finally,... Read more
