"You get what you pay for..." 2010-01-07By
Robert Nix (MO, USA)
This review is for the DP-887 (the one with the silver and metal frames).
I bought this frame based on the few reviews I could find on it here. It received glowing reviews. I checked the specs for it. It had a good resolution (800x600), which was the main selling point, plus it played mp3s and video.
It arrived in the mail in just a few days to my surprise. I opened it and it looked pretty sleek (I was afraid it was going to be a tad bulky). One weird thing that I first noticed was this weird protective film coating the metal frames. I didn't know if it was supposed to be removed or not, but it was peeling in some places, so I started tearing it off. It was very difficult to remove, and there are still some spots around the inner border where I can't get it off. It seems I'll need an exacto knife to remove the last bits. Until then, I'll have unsightly pieces of torn film around the inner border.
After that, I turned on the frame and loaded it up with pictures. The picture quality isn't as good as I thought it would be based on the reviews. I had previously bought two Kodak frames for family members for Christmas. The picture quality was a lot sharper and brighter on those. I'm not complaining that much, because those two frames were 20-40 dollars more expensive than this one. Mainly, areas where there are gradients such as skies appear very pixelated, like the frame has a very limited color palette.
If I could turn back time, I probably would have gone with a more expensive frame from one of the name brands. I don't want to pay shipping to return this, so I guess I'll keep it and maybe hand it down to someone when I decide it's time to upgrade.
I hope this review helps.
"only 2,000 pictures max." 2009-12-29By
R. Leerentveld (Mattawan, USA)
Overall a nice frame with decent picture quality. However, it has a severe limitation in that it will only recognize the first 2,000 pictures on a USB stick. A severe limitation that Colby does not describe anywhere in its sales materials (otherwise, I would not have bought it).
With 18,000+ pics on a 4 GB memory stick, the Coby frame does disappoint. With a digital camera, one does tend to collect pictures at an astonishing rate over the years. Forget about constantly updating/changing your memory device to have other pics to show on the Colby. You will tire of this very rapidly.

If you are looking to buy this item and are confused if it is 4:3 or 16:9, you must realize that Amazon puts the reviews for all the different sized frames TOGETHER. Some are 16:9, and some are 4:3. You need to look at the screen resolution and figure it out yourself.
For me, the product was a gift for someone else, and they seem to love it. I'll probably come back and comment better on it's behavior after they have used it for a while and I've had a chance to check it out myself.
"Easy to use, Nice display" 2009-12-26By
Peter PoggiI found the unit to be easy to setup and use. It would have been nice to include some instructions on how to achieve the best picture quality. I initially found that large picture files were slow to load and appeared grainy, but after experimenting I'm very satisfied with the results.
First, I used PaintShop Pro to open the photos right in the internal memory. Depending on the photo content I would either reduce the photo overall, or cropped the subject are to fit a 640 x 480 pixel size. Next, I reduced the number of colors to 32K, and saved the picture over the original file.
Result is a faster loading, much more clear image.
"Digital Picture Frame" 2009-12-15By
L. BrzezinksiStill have not figured out how to get the song to play at the same time the pictures do...should be way easier than this! I like the remote and the swappable covers, but the ease of use is just not there and this is a gift for my parents, who don't like technical things...so was trying to get it all set up for them. Not overly happy.
