Editorial Review:

Product DescriptionThose old photo albums gathering dust on closet shelves that are brought out for family get-togethers are becoming obsolete. Digital cameras allow images to be brightly, and easily, displayed on LCD screens. This picture frame uses an LCD screen and surrounds it with a decorative border so you can comfortably place it on your dresser, table, or wall. You can load its internal memory directly from your PC - transferring images directly to its USB port. Or you can take a memory card from your digital-camera and gather up photos from there. Then you can arrange photos to appear fixed, or change them automatically at timed intervals, or create unique ''slide'' shows. So why closet precious moments of your life when you can display them properly on this 9'' (diagonal) digital picture frame from Philips. And when you don't want to see images, simply turn the Philips 9FF2CME picture frame off. But you'll be so impressed with the qualities of the Philips 9FF2CME that, we think, you'll enjoy leaving it on. Then you can take your older photos, from those albums in your closet, digitize them by scanning into your PC, and view them on your Philips 9FF2CME as well. Get two or more - for different rooms in your home or to share with family and friends. It's a new, remarkable, and unique way of viewing pictures. Automatically turn on and off display at programmable preset times daily Create albums, slide shows, and manage photos Includes AC adapter, quick start guide, stand, USB cable, and user guide on CD-ROM 9FF2CME/37 is manufactured and designed for use in the USA by Philips


What Others Say

Here are some technical details you won't find anywhere else
I have learned that every specification given by a manufacturer is a lie, and my job as a consumer is to try to find out just how big a lie it is. Mind you, I like Philips 9-Inch Digital Picture Frame (Metal), and for all I know all digital picture frame manufacturers lie, but here's what I know about the 3 examples of Philips 9-Inch Digital Picture Frame (Metal) which I bought.
As others have mentioned, this 9" frame is exactly and precisely 8". To be fair, the packaging does not use the numeral 9 and the only way to learn that it has been characterized as a "9 inch" is during software setup, when you have to choose between 7 and 9 inch models. Of course the Philips website calls it a 9. . . .
Next I set out to determine how many pixels it has, vertically and horizontally. Philips is very coy ... Read More



Fuggadaboutit
I always go to the worst reviews, and generally find them simply to be whining. In this case, I have to agree. I've spent hours with this and can't get an image up. Extremely disappointing; sending it back tomorrow and buying a SONY, which I hope will fare better.



Philips 9-Inch Digital Picture Frame (Metal)
Firstly, I've owned Philips 9-Inch Digital Picture Frame (Metal) for 1 month now, and Philips 9-Inch Digital Picture Frame (Metal) has been running for 1 month now without my touching it. So rest assured that this isn't your overnight overly excited review.

----> Pros:
1) The physical construction of the frame is beautiful, sturdy and solid. You will find no creeks on this frame, and the metal-frame itself is a real eye-candy, if you're into that sort of the whole futuristic white-metal look.

2) The screen is very good, as others have pointed out. It's not as great as a HDTV screen, but it's definitely good enough to give the impression under broad daylight that it actually is a frame holding a picture.

3) I actually found the use of the user interface (UI) to be ... Read More



DISAPPOINTING!!!!
The 9-inch digital frame is very attractive in appearance. The PowerPoint-like animation is quite nice as well. However, I am quite disappointed with the onboard rechargeable battery. I recently purchased two frames with the understanding that the battery would last about 8 hours. I needed them for a 3-day show that lasted about 7 hours each day. This model was chosen to avoid the need to run a power cable to them, due to location. The batteries lasted a maximum of about 1½ hours. It was both cumbersome and very disappointing to make this type of investment only to be frustrated with a product that did not measure up to its specifications.



What a frustrating product. Phillips should be embarrased.
What a frustrating product. I've had the picture frame for about a year, and I did try to research the best product. I hope this isn't the best. The frame comes with inadequate memory so you must add a memory card. The picture frame will format the card as FAT by default. That limits the number of pictures that can be stored to far below the capacity of the card. I got the dreaded error 0X80070052. Googling that error indicated that I needed to format the card in NTFS to be able to store more than about 150 pictures. It took more than 6 tries to format the card with NTFS.

Copying pictures to the card is an exercise in futility. I wanted to copy about 300 pictures to a 1 GB card. After 4 hours of slow copying and two blue ... Read More
