Very nice size, very classy and high quality appearance. Functionality and menu options are sufficient but not impressive. Of the 3 I ordered, 1 is in the process of being replaced because it looks like an old TV with a vertical hold problem - I never knew LCD's ever did that. I don't have the replacement yet, but B&H has been great to work with on the return. The biggest issue I have with this frame is the viewing angle - although it has a nice wide range of viewing angles - both sided to side and vertically (better than other frames I have seen) the viewing angle is only good above perpendicular to the frame. So, if it is sitting on the floor no mater where you are in the room it looks good - even when standing and it viewing it from a fairly extreme angle. And, it would be fine on a very low coffee table, but forget about hanging it on a wall or sitting it on a normal height table if anyone ever will see it from a sitting position within the room. Even if it is at the some level as the viewer's eyes but tilted back on its table top support the image goes very dark and very contrasty. I really want to hang it on the wall, so my plan is to hang it upside down at standing eye level and then rotate all of my photos. Then, I think it will look good from anywhere in the room - I.e standing or sitting. Unless someone that is 7 ft tall tries to look at it. That is my plan anyway.

The product is actually a very good picture frame. the disappointing part about the frame is the loose part bouncing around inside the frame and the pixels missing in one small section about 1/4 inch long. The frame was very easy to set up and the random play of how each picture moved into the frame was a plus. I was not looking for anything but to use for photos. Would buy again if the confidence of the item being received would be in one piece.

Comments about Impecca DFM1512 15" Digital Picture Frame:
The images are very nice. The remote control is not intuitive at all. The manual is worse. You are not told that you might have to hit the "back" button multiple times to change modes. Inexplicably, the frame rotates some images 90 degrees. You CAN fix the rotation with the remote, but the "fix" does not "stick" so you are stuck with a sideways picture unless you want to rotate it artifically 90 degrees before you copy it to the frame. The frame does freeze once every two days which requires a power-off. I am told that a software update will correct that. Phone service is good, but who wants to have to call for support on a simple device?

Had issues with the frame about 3 months after receiving it, and 7 months later it no longer works. Save yourself a lot of money and go with another product... the negative reviews are accurate...
what a waste of time and money

This frame has very good quality in displaying my photos. The only negative for me has been that it sometimes hangs up on a picture and freezes for no apparent reason and I have to restart it. The random filmstrip is what I use the most and it has been very easy- just plug in my jump drive with the photo albums downloaded from iphoto and turn it on. I bought a second one as a gift because I liked it a lot.

I use this to show "family" photos and exceptional photos I have taken as a photographer.
Screen has a bit of a glare in rooms with bright windows, but I use it mostly at night so not a big issue.
You can create folders to put your pictures in but you cannot play just one folder. By default it shows ALL folders placed on the media, either in sequence or randomly. So I had to use use 2 SD cards one to display "Portrait" orientation and another to display "Landscape" and then just re-orient the frame occasionally. Again NOT big issues! But it also caused me to create separate media for each subject matter, because I did not want to show my photography photos along with the family photos..

I returned this for a refund (currently pending) as it was non-functional out of the box. I have had similarly bad experiences with other Impecca products and would advise against buying anything they make.

Con...The 1st one I received would not accept a Thumb drive or a computer won't recognize it.
Sound is mono and distorts if there is too much base.
PRO...B&H return was incredibly easy. The new unit is exactly what we were looking for.
This is being used in a commercial application as a marketing tool. The videos look awesome at a distance of 15ft. Slide shows look great too.
Uploading video and pics is really easy with
Just ordered 2 more for this project.

Originally enjoyed the frame, but it was having an issue from day 1 that every few days the frame would stop rotating pictures and I would have to restart. That should have been my clue to return the frame, instead I'm stuck with a frame that no longer works and in reading the warranty find labor and shipping are at my cost. I know not to chase good money with bad and will go with a more reputable frame next time. Advise you to consider you get what you pay for and this isn't a good deal.

Comments about Impecca DFM1512 15" Digital Picture Frame:
This product is very well built. The Remote control's functionality needs a little getting used to - especially when you are using the memory and additional card types. I like this product very much. The only Gripe I have is that this unit does not have a headphone jack to connect to an external speaker. Other than that, it does work as advertise. I also bought the extended warranty for this unit. I got it because I have had the nasty experience of a much smaller unit going south on me within less than a year of service. The extended warranty will give me peace of mind for the next 2 years. After which, it will certainly be time to get another (if this one [*] out on me).

Great frame easy to use. The only problem I had was when it came there were pieces of styerfoam in the interior of the frame between the screen and the glass. I thought about doing a return, but it was really easy to take the frame apart and clean the inside.

I haven't seen it noted anywhere, but one of the best features of this picture frame is the fact that you can use a flash drive in the USB port of the frame, and make impromptu slide shows, which can be added to, subtracted from, or erased and used for another project, simply copy the images from "my pictures" or any photo program in your computer.
This is great for sharing selected vacation pictures with friends without the hassle of making a DVD, or boring them with all the duplicate photos you used as brackets.

I reviewed Digital Frames for days and tried 2 other ones, but this one is the best and is as described. It has many little features better than the others such as the door covering the card access area, good size internal memory, and a cut mat inside the frame. It works great and after a lot of learning it is now easy to use. The manual could be better but it is pretty easy after the learning curve.
