I was sent a Philips Digital Photo Frame to check out. I had been looking at the digital frames off and on for a while, but, couldn't decide if I wanted to get one, or not.

I gave this one to my father, and, it was a hit in a big way!

The picture quality is wonderful, it's nice looking, and, the clear frame goes with any decor (I didn't get the one with the interchangeable colors). You can download photos from a PC or a camera memory card, and, display them one at a time, or in a slideshow format. It runs on battery or AC power, and, even has a timer that you can set to turn off and on at a certain time.

While it's certainly not a necessity, it makes a wonderful grandparent gift. My father loves it! I uploaded a few pictures to the frame itself, and, I bring him a camera memory card with pictures of events from time to time, so, he can look at those for a change of pace.

The only downside is that the documentation is poor, and, it takes a bit to get the hang of the controls. I didn't attempt to teach my dad how to download pictures himself.
