Samsung SPF-85V Digital Photo Frame

 

I don't know too many people who bother with printing their digital pictures these days. It's just so much easier to flip through a virtual album on a computer or ...

USB Mini Monitor function is fantastic ; Starlight Touch controls look great ; Internal memory is Mass Storage compliant ; Beautiful on-screen user interface ; Internal battery is rechargeable

Frame rate issues with movie player ; No apparent support for hidden SSID for Wi-Fi ; USB cord gets in way of vertical configuration ; Vertical viewing angle could be improved ; Rechargeable battery needs AC wall adapter, does not support USB

Not surprisingly, you don't get a memory card for storing your pictures, since that will presumably come directly from your digital camera. The multi-card reader will accept SD, MMC, and MS formats.

Digital picture frames have become increasingly popular but why stop at just displaying pictures? Samsung has come up with a digital photo frame that will play movies, songs and slideshows at your next party.

Samsung SPF-85V Digital Photo Frame

 

Digital picture frames have become increasingly popular but why stop at just displaying pictures? Samsung has come up with a digital photo frame that will play movies, songs and slideshows at your next party. It has a resolution of 800×600 pixels and...

Sleek and simple looking, with a subtle design ; Shows photos, plays movies and songs ; Wireless connection available ; Doubles as a mini-monitor for your PC

No 1024×768 resolution ; Pricey at time of review ($200.00)

When the idea of a digital picture frame first came up, I wasn’t quite sure why anyone would want that. You could easily show all your pictures from your laptop and PC or in a photo album. I can’t see many people changing a small 4″x6″ picture so...

Review: Samsung SPF-85V

 

When it comes to digital photos and video, internet storage and sharing has changed the way we interact with our media. Instead of prints, the majority of younger picture takers are sending their snaps directly to online destinations these days....

Wi-Fi is relatively easy to set up and use ; Excellent display ; Modern styling should appeal to a younger audience ; Innovative interface

Menu navigation can be challenging ; Highly limited internal memory ; Mini display function still has kinks to work out ; Video playback jumpy, audio weak

Samsung’s approach with the 85V and related models isn’t for everyone. For some, so little internal memory in a frame that’s hovering around the ’00 mark at most retailers will be a big turn-off. For digitally savvy users, though, a deficiency in this...

Apple Users Beware

 

Apple Users Beware

The unit works great if you are using a PC. Easy to use, and really fun. When I used my apple G4 to load pictures and mp3 files, they come over to the unit along with annoying unrecognized files with a size of 80K with the same file name. For each...

I purchased the SPF-105V (wireless) photo frame as a gift to my parents, so that they can see the latest photos of their grandchildren posted on Flickr easily from their living room. I'm an IT professional but the lack of a proper detailed manual, poor...

The BEST Digital Photo Frame!

 

The BEST Digital Photo Frame!

I bought the last remaining Samsung SPF-85H 8" digital frame from Fry's about a week ago. I've had Pandigital 5" digital frames and Insignia frames before. Samsung beats all others. This is the frame to get. The pictures look excellent and it doesn't...

Worst experience ever

I have purchased this item as a gift for someone. I was going to load up a bunch of pictures and then send it as a gift. The setup was anything but simple. It took me hours to get it to work with my reasonably new Dell laptop (and I would consider...
