Strengths: Excellent quality picture display.
Weaknesses: Basic operating system and slow processor speed.
Not great sound quality on the music.
Summary: I was very pleased with the gorgeous picture display, and isn't that what it is all about? I don't think you can beat this 15" display for this price anywhere. This is the 3rd picture viewer I have owned and is the largest and best of them.
The operating system is slow and pretty basic, without a lot of choices, bells and whistles, but it gets the job done. It has room for about 4 different memory cards at the same time, but will only operate from ONE of them at a time, and you need to specify which one. I had a 1 GB card loaded with around 700 pictures (at about 1.4 MB each) and it played them well, though slowly. I set it on 1 second per picture, to display in the slide show. Well, it showed each picture for 6 seconds, then took 1 second in transition. I do not know how long it takes if you set it on the 3 sec, 5 sec, 10 sec or 60 second setting.
The music was tinney and volume settings were not very loud, but I hadn't expected much from it, so I wasn't very disappointed. If the power goes off, it will reboot back into Slideshow display mode, but won't play music automatically. To play music, you must select the music button, wait a minute or so for that to load, then select the slideshow button and wait a minute for that to load, with the music.
It has an auto repeat setting for the slideshow and music, but I don't think it has auto repeat for the video, so your videos will not play continuously.
I haven't tried it in video mode, but I didn't buy it for videos. If I wanted videos, I'd watch them on my TV or computer. Frankly, I may be wrong, but considering the apparent processor speed, I wouldn't expect much from the videos.
Overall, I am very satisfied with this, so far. It looks good on display, nice and stylish and plays impressive pictures, and I would recommend it highly, for anyone who doesn't want to spend at least another $70 to $100.
