didn't work when I got it [Posted on 2008-01-19]
Well I havent had a chance to see if my screen burns out like the other reveiws, I bought this for my wife for christmas, they were not available for shipping at that time so we recieved it Jan 14th. I followed directions & tried to load pictures onto the new SD card I bought ($20) & it wont let me add anything, says the disc (sd card) is write protected. bought another SDcard $20 maybe I got a bad one :/ nope same thing. both cards work good in my digital camera. it appears the photoshare 2.4 isn't seeing the position of the write protect tab on the sd cards. So now I'm guessing I'll have to ship it back ( more $$$)
The screen after a minute or so of turning it on does go black but I'm hoping thats because there are no pictures loaded into it.
So far I'm not too impressed

could not be more dissapointed [Posted on 2008-03-12]
I'm ashamed I have to give it 1 star, but you can't give it 0 I quess. I first bought the product as a gift for my wife. When we took it out of the box it did not work as the screen appeared not to turn on, but after looking really hard at the screen we saw it was about 1% lit up and so dim that we couldn't even tell it was on. So we returned for another. 3 months later this one has the same problem. Very dissapointing and cheap product as the images looked terrible from up to about 3 feet away when it did work. Also, there is no way to turn it on or off while it is in it's 'frame'. Finally, the power plug adapter fit the unit very poorly and barely wants to stay plugged in. Do yourself a favor and avoid this product.
4th Time Wasn't a Charm (Should be 0 Stars!) [Posted on 2008-04-07]
Christmas 2006, LCD frames were all the rage and unfortunately I made the mistake of purchasing this Photoco product and thus entering this never ending spiral of defective products!
Condensed version of my story: I am now returning my 4th failed unit. Each time I returned one, they told me how it was my fault. When they said my power was bad, I bought a conditioner/UPS. When they said it can't be in direct sunlight, I rearranged its location. When they said it can't run 24/7, I bought a timer so it would only turn on during work hours. In the end each unit has failed exactly the same way.
To their behalf, Photoco has gingerly replaced it every time it failed. Unfortunately each replacement failed in the same way.
I am done!
I don't know if they are still selling this unit, but please find another brand. You will save yourself a lot of frustration.
Zero Stars!!! [Posted on 2008-04-22]
If I could rate this product less than one star I would!!!
I received this product as a gift. The screen burned out within several months. I sent it back to the company and they replaced it. Now the replacement has burned out as well.
The response from the company representative , Roger Maddron Jr, was "We've found that users who run their units 24/7, will encounter backlight issues more frequently. We recommend around 8-10 hours of continuous use a day."
What a pain to have to turn the unit on and off. What's the point of having a digital picture frame if you can't enjoy it anytime of day.
Also, after the original 1 year warranty (from original purchase) expires, you are left with a worthless unit.
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!
Watch Out LCD burn out.... Do not buy. [Posted on 2008-05-05]
I received this as a gift for Christmas. Picture quality is Ok. I guess I felt guilty not using it, so I leave it at my work.
Four months later, the LCD goes black. From what I gather, if the unit is ran 24/7, the backlight will burn out. I sent a note to the customer service... but it may not be worth it to pay $$ to send back and hassle with a not so well design product.
Oh well. I'll stick with my standard picture frame.
