All of this review applies to the 15" Pixstar digital frame. We originally purchased the 10" and found it unimpressive. The 15" inch is phenomenal, though. Very functional, easy to set up, easy to use or even have non-tech grandparents use. Beautiful display. We bought this for: 1) Grown son who moved across the country, and we weren't hearing from him often enough. After he received the frame which we had loaded with 24,000+ awesome photos, we were top of the mind and are still getting frequent phone calls from him. Really great for helping us stay connected. 2) For our own family to help our kids form identity (preteens and teens) with perspective of so much of the good they've had in life. Teens tend to have a narrow focus and can get stuck in "Woe is Me" and feel isolated. We and our kids adore watching this frame and will just stand in front of it, watching the slideshow. The siblings' closeness to each other increased from recalling happy memories they've shared. 3) For *not* tech-savvy grandparents in their 70's who have wifi access but prefer not to have devices running on it. We at first got the Nix 8" Digital Frame ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VCCK198/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 ), but we were so unimpressed. Upgraded and spent the extra money for this one because the viewing experience is so superior, it's easier to see from across the room, and it has the options for (any memory amount of) SD card or USB, downloads around 32,000 photos (varies depending on quality/how many mb your photos are) and stores them in the frame, so the user doesn't have to use the internet to see photos. It also connects via the internet to online albums such as Google Photos and other photo share apps. That feature is really neat and works well. Our grandparents/parents really liked the frame. 4) Recently bought another one for our grown daughter who moved out, to help her feel connected to her family. Each frame gets registered when you plug it in with it's own email address and account. You can sync all the accounts you have for various frames in one group account and control all of the frames from the one account - changing which album plays, which kind of slideshow, etc. We use both the individual accounts and the group account to control a frame, depending on our what we want. If you want it to really play ALL the photos stored in the frame, make sure you select under "My Frame Configuration" then "Slide show configuration" then under "Playing Mode" select "NORMAL" then "Sorting Mode" select "RANDOM." If you do it with the other configurations, it tends to seem stuck on certain scenes/photos in your library and not play all of them. The above configurations seemed to work and let us see a constantly changing selections of photos. We hope they keep updating the frame and making them because we'll be buying more for other family members. Highly recommend!

WITHOUT A DOUBT, THIS BRAND OF DIGITAL PICTURE FRAMES IS BYFAR THE BEST. IN COMPARISON, IT WAS EASY TO SETUP AND EASY TO TRANSFER PHOTOS FROM MY COMPUTER. THE SOFTWARE WORKS WELL AND IS FRIENDLY DO YOUR SELF A HUGE FAVOR AND SELECT THIS ONE TO PURCHASE

I bought the PixStar 15" picture frame in 2020 and love it. Still the original one and it's on 24 hours a day, every day on our kitchen table. The best thing I like is that it plays non stop forever, months even. And it takes large size videos. I have 29 travel videos, 1 hour long each, and I put several on this frame at a time so that's a lot of videos to play. The videos play completely, go on to the next, non stop. I definitely recommend this picture frame.

This is an update/addition to my review of November 2022. As I mentioned in my initial review I did a large amount of research prior to purchasing the Pix-Star 10 inch frame. The frame not only answered all of my requirements, it worked perfectly for almost the entire 1st year. I could not have been more satisfied (I also purchased a 2nd unit as a gift). Recently, a problem developed regarding the motion sensor. I contacted Pix-Star's Customer Support and they recommended a couple of actions which initially corrected the issue but ultimately the problem continued. After about four weeks of trying I advised Pix-Star that none of the fixes worked and the motion detector remained inoperable. They immediately advised me they were sending a new, replacement frame and I received it within a few days. They responded quickly, efficiently, and totally to my satisfaction. They provided a level of Superior Customer Service seldom displayed today. I am providing this added review because they not only deserve it but also for peace of mind for those of you who may be hesitant in making this purchase. Here's my bottom line. It is a great product with all of the bells and whistles I required backed up by a reputable firm providing outstanding customer service. I did a lot of research on a good amount of photo frames from various firms. Assuming similar quality my primary needs were: 1. motion detector 2. ability to use a usb stick 3.load photos via internet 4. auto resizing of photos I decided to go with Pix-Star and what a good decision! The frame itself is basic and looks fine. The most important feature for me (along with those listed above) is how do my photos look when displayed. Let me tell you - in one word FANTASTIC. They look great. For those of you shopping for one of these for the first time (like me) here are some suggestions. When you first get it you will want to load it with current photos. That's why I wanted the ability to use a USB stick. I loaded almost 225 photos immediately. I don't know how long that would have taken via the internet. All I did was go to my PC , down loaded the photos to a USB, and then uploaded from the USB to the frame. Uploading took about 1 minute. The internet is fine for uploading a few photos when you like, but starting off with a large amount may be time consuming. Doing it this way also allowed me to "polish" my selections using Photoshop so they looked exactly the way I wanted. I also was able to resize most of my photos to 8 X 6 (frame display size) so there was no distortion or cropping. I am particular with my photos. This frame provides a lot of flexibility, it is fairly easy to understand, and overall does a great job. It isn't cheap - but it is worth the dollars it cost.

This is a really nice frame, with great features. We bought the frame because of its size and features. While we were not really interested in the WiFi capabilities, they do come in handy, especially when you take those one or two pictures with your phone that you want to have on the frame immediately. Simply snap the pictures and email them directly to the frame! Pretty cool. Setup was really easy. Perhaps the intuitiveness of the setup menu could be improved, but it really is NOT that difficult. I was up and running with WiFi emailing pictures to the frame within 15 minutes. I have read recent and past reviews, and like all items being reviewed, and especially with 600+ reviews, the reviews are all over the map, from extreme to extreme. So, let me give you my view, having had several picture frames come and go, from Sony to Alturatec to Photomate. PROS 1) Great features. Our specific draw to this frame was the ability for random slideshows. With 3000+ photos currently on the frame, it was important that there be a random draw of photos. Other frames always start from the "beginning", wherever the frame choses that to be. VERY few other frames have this feature. Also, the slideshow picks up where it left off at each power up. 2) The two turn automatic ON/Off cycles is very nice. So, you can set a time period for the morning, then another for the evening. Or, you can just choose 1 time period, or no time period. 3) Picture quality. While other reviews complained about the "washed out" pictures quality, I am here to tell you that ALL frames are about the same. If you find your pictures appear to be washed out, reduce the brightness. I have our frame set at 10% and it is fine. Contrast is a problem with all frames I have ever owned. It would be very simple for the manufactures to put in a contrast control. I am not sure why they don't. I have also found that for good quality pictures with great native contrast, the frame does a nice job reproducing that quality. So, while the frame may have a contrast issue, I would suggest that the quality of the original picture also takes some of the blame. And since most of us are not professional photographers, I would suggest that most of our pictures will be a reduced quality anyway. So don't blame the frame? CON 1) Contrast. While I think the pictures are just fine, as good as my Sony frame I have at work, a contrast control would be nice so that the contrast could be adjusted at brighter settings. Since the frame cost around $200, I think this feature should be included. But it appears that over the air updates are available, so maybe they will add this feature. One final comment. We looked for several months for the right frame. This frame really stands out in turns of features and quality. I really don't think you will be dissappointed with this frame. I hope this review helps.

My husband had originally gotten me a different frame which was quite a pain, so we returned it and decided on the Pix-Star. I absolutely love this frame. Since I had received a different frame at first, I had already put my pictures on an SD card, so when I received this frame all I had to do was insert the SD card and play the slideshow. I like the look of the frame and I like that it is matte. The initial set up was very easy and so far have had no issues with the frame. The frame came with a motion detector, so after a certain amount of time, it will shut itself off until it senses movement then wake itself up and display photos. We also purchased a bluetooth dongle for the frame and all I did was put the dongle into the frame and now my frame is bluetooth. I have not registered an email for the frame because of its bluetooth capabilities now. It is so easy to send pictures to the frame via bluetooth. I really like that the frame will play ALL the pictures on the frame. It will play pictures from my SD card AND pictures from the internal memory so I can view ALL of my pictures. I also like that I am able to move my pictures from the internal memory to the SD card so I don't have to worry if something happens to the frame since my pictures are on the SD card. I absolutely love this frame and I love that I get to see so many memories from one frame. It really is such a wonderful gift and I have enjoyed it very much. This is the bluetooth dongle I purchased for the frame and was recommended by the Pix-Star website: GXG-1987 BTA-402 USB Bluetooth 4.0 Micro Adapter Dongle Mini Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter Dongle With CSR8510 Controller and CSR Harmony for Windows XP Vista 2003 2008 7 and 8 32 or 64 Bit - Black

**UPDATE** They fixed the problem, I can now change the configuration via their website on my Macbook or iPhone without having to use the frame's remote control. There actually is a lot to like, the picture quality is good, it has its own internal storage so it works when not connected to wifi, and it's easy for others to add pictures to, just email pics to the frame's own email address . The menus are a little cumbersome but that's true with most tech devices and after a week it's gotten easier to do what we want to do. I wish they made a 12" model but I'm upping it to 5 stars. **Original review** - My biggest issue is that I can't change the configuration of the frame with my computer, I have to go to the frame and use the remote control or buttons on the frame itself. I've contacted their customer service, they said it should work and I should do a reset. The reset didn't fix it, we've tried two different computers and different web browsers and the "save" button just doesn't work. I got back to them and it's been several days and no reply, fwiw, my laptop is a MacBook and there's a new OS, some tech depts don't work well with Apple. Still debating on whether to keep it or not.

Exactly what we wanted and got it the next day. Excellent!

Clear photos with good definition. As I was only using it with an SD card I found it quite difficult to set up, however the support team at Pixstar have been very helpful. It would be helpful if it came with a manual rather than searching online. It it very easy to email pics to then frame (I tested this but prefer to use sd card) All in all a great buy

Amei o produto. Envio fotos, videos do instagram, facebook .... facilmente. Excelente. Recomendo.

Comprato com regalo per mia nonna ed è stato molto apprezzato, con SD ho potuto inserire moltissime foto, e tramite l'upload via email ho permesso ai vari parenti di poter dare il loro contributo. L'accesso da remoto mi permette di controllare i contenuti. L'utilizzo è semplicissimo , impostato per funzionar ein modo automatico e con un telecomando semplice da usare. La configurazione è stata un po' laboriosa ma non troppo complessa. L'unico limite è il caso di alimentazione che non permette un uso appeso a parete ma solo in appoggio su un piano.

On one display we email family photos and on other travel photos from cloud Both systems work great
