Very poor resolution picture presentation
By Dabooda
The picture quality displayed on the Sungale photo frame is not the same quality you see on a computer monitor. In fact, it is not the same quality as a cheaply printed photo. Photos mostly show up very dark and muddy, unless they were shot in bright sunlight with no shadows, or unless they were very overexposed to start with. The onboard setup feature does allow you to boost the brightness of the display, but even the maximum boost isn’t enough.
However, I did discover a way to make the display marginally acceptable. Using Adobe Photoshop, I modified the darker photos by increasing the brightness by about 50-70 percent. On the computer monitor, such photos look washed out, but they look fairly good on the Sungale photo frame.
Next problem: the frame is elongated. The actual display area measures 6 inches by 3.4 inches. Like it’s made to play movies in widescreen format. Well, I just wanted it to give a photo slideshow. Unfortunately, if you display a standard JPEG image from your digital camera on this screen, the image will be stretched out, making any people in the photos look like squashed dwarves. The device does have a useful little button that lets you show the pictures in natural proportions — but it does so by leaving black space on both sides of the photo. Not very attractive. It is probably — theoretically — possible to modify your photos with Photoshop so that they will display well on this device. It’s going to be a lot of work, though. First you have to crop the photo to the 6″ x 3.4″ proportions. Then adjust the brightness. Then distort the image by squeezing the 6″ down (I haven’t calculated exactly how far) maybe to 5″ or 4.7″ Then load the distorted files onto the memory chip you’re using on the device. Then you should be able to display your photos on the full area of the screen. It would be a real pain to do it for a lot of pictures, though. Too much trouble for me.

Not what you expected at all
By C. Lou
The native resolution of this frame is 480×234. But the 16-page user’s guide never mention how you should crop your photo. I tried so many combinations: 480×234, 480×319 etc… but none of them displayed right on the frame. The picture either stretched or has a black bar. The manual is NOT helpful at all. Having pictures displayed full screen without distortion – does this sound like a over-demand? I don’t need the mp3 and video playback. BTW mp3 is OK but it can’t play the video file taken by my Canon SD300. Besides, the picture looks much darker than that in computer and you have to adjust the brightness to the MAX to get a barely acceptable result. However I can’t work out the picture distortion problem after 1 hour of picture cutting. I will return it, and try another major bandname. This one is really poorly packaged.

extremely low quality product; avoid at all costs
By buru buru piggu
This digital photo frame looked really promising on paper: JPEG viewer, MP3 and video player. I had thought of getting it for my dad, so he wouldn’t need to use the computer to view photos taken with the digital camera. I had low expectations for this product, given previous experiences from no-name companies and reviews from some Amazon customers.

Boy, were my low expectations exceeded, except in the wrong direction! This product is MUCH WORSE than I could’ve imagined. Right when I opened the box, I saw the cheap quality of the construction and low grade plastic. It seemed fragile and cheaply made. Upon turning it on, I discovered what everyone was saying. This product is EXTREMELY low resolution. The color saturation is awful and every image appears blocky and blurry.

The SD card read speed is extremely slow and response rate is even worse. It takes about a second for the unit to respond to the remote control. I haven’t tried the MP3 or movie player functions yet, but I doubt they’ll justify keeping this. Even at $20, I wouldn’t buy this piece of junk.

Bottom line: the resolution is awful awful awful. The unit feels and behaves cheaply. Avoid this piece of garbage. I’m returning it as soon as I have time to go to the post office.
