This was a wedding gift for my daughter and son in law. They are using it for their engagement and wedding photos. Its very nice and I havent heard any complaints.

Great color when viewing pics, very thin when compared to other digital frames. I really like that the surface of the display is antiglare/antireflective. This is a big help when viewing in a room with lots of other light sources. I would recomend this frame if you are in the market for something larger than the common 7″ to 8″ frames.
In researching before I bought this frame I found an interesting tip regarding chosing frames and that was that digital cameras record photos with a 4:3 aspect ratio. Alot of digital frames are advertised as having wide aspect 16:9 ratio. Chosing a photo frame is not like chosing a HDTV monitor wider is not better. Wider aspect is really a disadvantage because the frame is going to compensate by either keeping the image as a 4:3 aspect and displaying a smaller image that does not fill the screen of the photo frame. Or, the digital frame is going to stretch the photo to make it fit which distorts the image. Something to consider when you are picking which frame you want. The Samsung frame is a 4:3 aspect ratio so your digital pictures will fill the frame all the way and you will get a full screen nothing shrunk down or streched out to fit. Your picture will display on your frame just like your camera recorded it.
I would recommend this frame and I am very happy with it.

Initially I was extremely impressed with the resolution and how vivid the colors are but that has has changed the more I look at it.
As a photo frame: 4 stars
Pros: 1. Good resolution
2. Easy set up
3. Multiple input modes
4. Adjustable back lighting
5. Multiple picture transition modes
Cons: 1. 4:3 aspect ratio photos do not fit well in a 16:9 widescreen without significant cropping. When uncropped portrait-oriented photos are viewed in landscape mode, they only fill roughly the center 1/3rd of the frame. Normal uncropped landscape photos leave an inch of blackspace on each side of the screen.
2. Noticeable bluish cast to photos and no means of adjustment to resolve. The blue cast actually overrules reddish tones enough to make sepia-tone photos look black and white. And while it is great for green landscapes or ocean view photos, sunset photos and skintones look blah. It makes my scuba photos look even worse.
3. Some of the picture transition modes are not very smooth.
As a mini monitor: 2 stars
Pros: None
Cons: 1. For the most part, cannot view videos or tv feed on monitor. Cannot get it to work with Windows Media Player, Quicktime, Roxio, or Avermedia TV software in either XP or Win 7. The only way I have gotten tv or video to work is using Snapstream and then it seizes fairly often.
2. Windows dragged over to monitor and maximized often have residuals and artifacts that cannot be refreshed out.
3. Have to go though a setup process each time unit is started as a monitor.
Samsung generally puts out fairly good quality products. This product was either produced as an afterthought (the 1024×600 screen is likely the same one used in their line of netbooks) or it was rushed to market to compete with the other new high-res photo frames coming on the market. If you are looking for a mini-monitor (as I was) look elsewhere. Samsung should have left that part out on this model as it really drags down the rating. If you are just looking for a digital frame, look for a 4:3 ratio model. You will probably be much happier with it as the pictures will fill the screen without cropping.

Bought several these as gifts and so far they are as advertised. Very crisp pictures and easy to use. Lots of options for viewing and several screen formats. Blends in well and looks nice on the desk.
