Venturer DPF811SE 8 Digital Picture Frame

Works great

We also purchased the Venturer at Wal-Mart, note Amazon price is the same. The photo frame is perfect for me. Very simple design, no remote to loose and accepts my SD card. We have SD cards laying around here everywhere so I found a 16 M card from the closet and it worked perfect. Note, don't waste memory using pictures of 1 M in size, with this viewer you will not notice the difference. We also tried a PanDigital 6 inch and next to the Venturer. The Venturer picture was significantly better and the price was 35 % less for the Venturer. Don't let the simple Venturer packaging fool you. We are going to buy another Venturer for the family.. This time from Amazon. :)

This picture frame worked good when I first got it but it did not work very long. I had one like it before and that is why I ordered it. It lasted way longer than the one I got from Amazon. It just quit working in less than a year. I wouldn't recomend this one.

I ordered this picture frame for my in laws b/c they said they wanted an 8" digital frame....when I was reading the description it said nothing about it being a WIDESCREEN frame! I'm very disappointed in this product, I never would have bought it had I known it was widescreen!

We bought a Venturer dpf811se on Black Friday 2007 at Walmart too. Our decision to purchase was completely impulsive and based on the cheap price, $50. Moreover, we had done no research as to what features make a good digital frame; aside from asking other Black Friday shoppers why they were buying one of these digital frames.The advertised size is somewhat deceptive. From corner to corner the screen measures 7 7/8 inches. The vertical and horizontal dimensions of the screen measure 3 11/16 inches high x 7 inches wide. So, the screen is very long, almost too long and definitely not tall enough. You really get a roughly 3 ¾ tall and 5 ½ wide picture when displaying in a normal aspect ratio photo of 3:4. Small. Other digital frames from other companies have better aspect ratios, but they also cost much more ($80 plus). The cord to plug into an outlet is only 4 feet 10 inches long which is too short.The Venturer dpf811se's screen is somewhat grainy. Some lines in the photos are not sharp, they have edgies. However, the color is smooth and not pixilated. The colors are bright and vibrant. The edge of the screen lightens the colors of the photos, definitely a mild flaw. The pictures are not as sharp as I had hoped, but they still look nice. I like the black plastic frame around the screen.To view the images on the screen it is best to look from right in front of the Digital Frame, as the screen can washout light or dark from to far of an angle. A better quality screen would be easily noticed next to the dpf811se. I did try changing the images' size and DPI in an effort to decrease the artifacts in the images when displayed. I noticed no improvement when size or DPI was changed.The dpf811se does boot up quickly enough, the menu system is ok, and the transitions are ok, some of the transition effects were too blocky for me. Just putting the transitions on fade was the most attractive.Venturer dpf811se represents the low end of the market for digital frames. So, as long as you are not picky the Venturer dpf811se will perform as expected. For those that notice details, currently the low end of the digital frame market doesn't offer the level of visual quality that you would be satisfied with.

my photography ain't the greatest, but since I bought it with some questionable reviews, I must say that it meets my specifications and those of friends who want to see my trip pictures

Very hard to get sad card to display the pictures.

Was sent a frame that someone else returned. Cables were loose and the sd card even had the pictures from the original purchaser. Don't waste your time or money.
