I liked it the moment I saw it... A clear piece of glossy acrylic frames the LCD unit adds a classy touch to the Digital Photo Frame. The LCD panel is protected by a layer of thin plastic film that reveals a matt finished LCD screen. This new model has exactly the form factor as the previous model reviewed, and weighs just about the same.
The clear, transparent acrylic frame, when viewed from a distance, gives an impression that this Digital Photo Frame looks much compact and slimmer than its actual size.
I was impressed by the bright LCD screen the moment I powered it on. For some reasons, the LCD panels from this model seems brighter than the previous model reviewed with more natural colour tones. You may like to view the comparison below.
Both models share the same specifications (abeit the brighter LCD screen in the newer model) and support the same types of memory cards (SD/MMC/MS/MicroSD & MiniSD) (MiniSD & MicroSD requires external adapters) and USB drives (including thumb drives and external HDD). I tested the model using 1GB SD, MiniSD and MicroSD and it is able to read the cards' directory structure and contents. External 2.5" Hard Disk Drives up to 120GB were tested and the unit works just as well.
A good feature I discovered is the OTG (On-The-Go) support for USB devices. With this feature, I can easily transfer files (JPEG files or DivX movie files) between SD cards and connected USB device (vice versa) just from a touch of the remote control.
Sample footage from Prison Break played directly from my external USB 2.5" HDD (which is also a DivX/MPEG4 HDD player). The built-in speakers provide adequate volume during movie playback.
Though control buttons are provided at the back of the panel, you will probably choose not to use it as it can be quite a daunting task trying to access the system menu using these buttons. So please do not mis-place your remote control.
