4.0 out of 5 stars
Great value frame, 8 Nov 2007
Well, here's my story...
I spent weeks researching which frame to get my mum for Christmas. They vary so much in price/quality/brand etc...
I wanted to get a Philips, as they seem to get hands-down the best reviews. I just couldn't justify the price. Having visited all the major highstreet stores (Debenhams, John Lewis, Currys, Klick, Boots, Tesco Extra, Argos etc.) in seek of some display models to play with, I eventually gave up today, as not one - and as you are now well aware, I did try hard - not one store had a functioning frame on display.
So I took the plunge... I went back to the well-known catalogue store (who boast a no-quibble 30-day money back promise!) and bought 2 to try out - the heavily-reviewed "Linx" 7" jobby, and this one, the Agfa.
The Agfa wins, no doubt about it. Understandably, no frame with 480x234 pixel display (which incidentally the majority of frames under £80 are speced at) is going to look fantastic close up, but th Agfa looks a hell of a lot better than the Linx.
And it's so easy to use, even my mum will find it a doddle! Just stick in a memory car or PictBridge-compatible camera, and it starts the slide show. The remote is dead simple too - choose length of time the picture stays on from 5s to 60s, various stretch/pan/zoom modes, back and forward through pics, and rotate. That's it.
No setup menus or similar present - but who needs them, this frame is plug and play, litterly. The only reason I've given it 4 rather than 5 is that the pictures don't look amazing close up, but this isn't really a problem,.
Also, should you wish to leave a picture up for more than 60 secs, no problem, the frame has a pause button too!
All-round good buy, far better than the Linx, and I dare say many others in the same league...
Hope this helps.
