Matsunichi Photoblitz 1.1-Inch Personal Heart Pendant Photo Frame

We put on about 100 photos and thought it would be neat to have it shuffle through while sitting on the mantle. The bad thing is IT WON'T SHUFFLE!! It plays them in the order on the card.

We returned it and now looking for on that shuffles.

Pros:

Excellent color without being overly saturated or contrasty

Can adjust brightness, tint, and contrast

Fleshtones that are correct in the original image look normal on the screen [not orange like on a TV]

Good resolution [assuming your pictures have it]

Automatically adjusts for image size and orientation

Can adjust slide show picture duration for 3, 5, or 10 seconds

OK viewing angle

Cons:

A user interface that is OVERLY COMPLICATED, ostensibly through its attempt to be simple.

Extremely POORLY written user manual [some features don't work as described, or are non-existent].

Once the power-on state is initially set at first power-on, you are supposed to be able to go back and change it by doing a "Factory Reset" described under 3-7 "Setup". However, there are some instructions missing on page 24 which end with "i. Default. This will reset all settings to factory default mode. After doing a factory reset, the..." That's where it ends, i.e., in mid sentence.

Slide show starts with the same picture regardless of which one you highlight. The manual says that the slide show "starts/resumes based on Slideshow Settings in Setup", but there is no setting in the Setup menu that allows you to specify your option. Indeed, in the manual under 3-7 "Setup", page 22, there is no instruction on how to do this.

Slide show is random based on some criterion that is not apparent. This is a HUGE disadvantage if you want to show pictures in chronological order [e.g., of your kids growing up].

I chose this model with the expectation that it could be connected to a TV because the "Features" state "Audio/Video Output Connectors", because the description under "Features" states "Audio/Video Output Connectors", and under "Item Includes" is listed an "A/V output cable set" but THERE ARE NONE, no cables, no connectors. I suspect that I got a older or newer model that is different even though the model number is the same. The frame did include a USB cable with a normal connector on one end and a mini on the other.

There is a "USB Device Port" and a "USB Host Port". There is no explicit explanation as to whether these are inputs or outputs.

The remote's battery was DOA [yes, I removed the protective plastic tab.] A new one was $6 plus sales tax. I thought there was something wrong with the remote itself until I tried a new battery.

I returned it for a refund.

Would I recommend it to a friend? NO.

Would I buy this again? Definitely not.

I actually purchased this over a year ago, but hadn't given it a review. The frame is nicer looking then most, a richer look to it. The picture is good, sound is good. Took awhile to figure out how to load the music.

Do not buy from Worldwide Distributors. I tried to purchase this picture frame from this company and they are shady. They bumped up my shipping cost and charged me almost $30 to ship it USPS Priority Mail. I have attempted several times to contact them and cancel my order but they won't respond or answer their phone.

My advice to you is to stay away from this company.

Bought this for a gift for my wife after reading previous comments. All the pieces were there - except for the storage chip but I knew that.

Loaded it up with photos of her horse and surprised her for her birthday -the wife not the horse. Set it to be a clock with picture mode and gave it to her to take to work.

My wife loves it.
