Yep, I agree. I don=92t think it=92s fair to compare it against the
Philips
which is 2x to 3x more expensive, as you=92d expect the Philips to be

it is what it is, a cheap LCD picture frame!

Just been playing with mine, think it's well worth it for 50 notes,=20
certainly brings it into Xmas present price range.

Haven't got anything else to compare it to but think the image quality
is=20
ok..... certainly alright for sticking on a desk at work or in the front=20
room for wow factor when relatives visit.....

The usb port / adaptor lead is for hooking up usb memory sticks, I haven't=
=20
tried it with a usb hard drive yet though......

Overall I think it's pretty good, only thing that was a bit disappointing
i=
s

the clear bezel lets you see the power cable and any memory sticks plugged=

in.

Hi All,

Just unplugged mine. Actually pretty dissapointed to be honest. I have
the Philips one discussed a while ago too for comparison.

This new one has poorer image quality, poorer angle for viewing. It
looks cheap too and is quite a bit fatter than the philips.

All in all the Philips is a way better item and is worth the extra =A350.
