Digital Spectrum NuVue 560 5.6-Inch Digital Photo Player (White)

As others have mentioned, ours did not come with a manual. However I found the manual in just a couple of minutes on the manufacturer's web site and printed it. We were able to get it to read from every memory card the relatives had, which included multimedia card, Sony memory stick, an XD card, and a flash memory card. The resolution is not great, but that is what allows it to hold a lot of photos and be less expensive than most digital frames.I also liked this one because it was so simple (the company makes more advanced models, but some start up with a menu). If you ignore the extra buttons on this one, it just starts up playing a slide show and continuously rotates through all the pics on the memory card. This makes it a perfect gift for a non-tech person to have a lot of photos to look at. (you just have to take their card to a computer and load more pics on it when you want to add pics). Mine came with other cables, but we haven't used them.

I recently got one of these frames for free from some family and I was playing around with my photos trying to make them fit inside the full pixels of the frame. I read the included manual (don't bother it doesn't say much) and it says the pixels are 320x234. I tried scaling my images to that and they showed up tiny on the frame. I then went to the company website where the specs said 320x3 by 234. This confused me, and I didn't understand why it would be written like this. 320x3=960 so I tried scaling my images to that width with the matching height. This gave me perfect width, but the height was still a little short. After trial and error I have found that 960x710 is an optimal pixel resolution for this particular frame. This may of course stretch some of the images, but for me the difference is not that bad, and this frame is not of the highest quality to begin with, but at least now my photos fill the frame in its entirety.

We received this as a gift. It worked ONLY the first time I used it. It has nothing to do with picture quality or size either. I have a Canon EOS Rebel 6.1 SRR camera (very large files). I took some pictures, and it worked, although image quality was quite poor. Of course, you won't really want to take some photos to use. You'll want to BUY ANOTHER MEMORY CARD, further expense, and copy some good photos to it for use in the digital frame. I did this and now it won't read any cards at all. I even reformated one of my memory cards, took new photos and inserted the card. Still won't read them. Don't waste your money. I'm asking for the receipt so that I can return it to the store. By the way, almost NEVER write really bad reviews, but this product is truly awful.

I got this frame as a gift. As noted in another review, the documentation is all of 1 page, barely readable and just about useless. I called the 800 Tech support # and, again as noted in other reviews, you get a voicemail asking for your number for a return call. I persevered by going to their website , getting their office phone # and calling. I was told they were very busy with a lot of calls. I asked how many people they had answering calls in tech support and was told 2!!! I finally did speak to a tech who informed me that my pictures were too high quality and that's why it took many minutes (instead of seconds) to switch between slides. My camera takes 7.2 megapixel pictures and I was told that unless I re-size them and copy them on to a memory card (i.e. make them lesser quality) then the problem would persist. I would strongly suggest trying this product out with your memory card at the store before purchasing.

It has a nice bright picture. I'm using my 512MB SD card from my (jpg) camera. I take pictures with my camera all day and then plug the SD card into it at night for review. It sits on the kitchen table where we can be close enough to see and enjoy the pictures, after all it is only 4x6 inches in size. The SD card is pushed so far into the device that it is a little difficult to pull out. Takes small fingers. There's no eject button. That needs to be changed on future models. It has a nice long black cord for 110 volt AC power. It's only $100 so it's affordable.

Photo display quality is poor.No built in memory.No supporting documentation.Cheap & Poor construction quality.For the money, you can spend 30-45 extra on another brand and receive memory and better video quality.PS - If I could give a Zero Star I would.

The description and the box says it has a USB 2.0 connection for fast transfer with included cable and a video out for TV viewing with cable. However, it has none of these connections nor cables! Our camera uses a different memory card (smartmedia) not supported by this product, so we have to figure out another way to get the photos from our computer onto the SD memory card supported by this product. If these interfaces are not required (and we probably won't need them once we figure a way to get photos onto the card), then the frame is a good way to showcase your digital photo collection.

I got a NuVue 560 as a gift, and am very disappointed in the total lack of customer support, and it clearly does not perform as described in the documentation. Stay away from this one unless you have very low resolution jpeg.
