General Remote Control for BN59-01006A

╔ ■ Price Point: 2/5╠ ■ Quality/Design/Durability: 1/5╠ ■ Recommendation/Giftable Factor: 2/5╠ ☼ Overall: 2/5╠ ►Product Need: Digital photo frame╠ ►Product Pros: 4GB on board, 8” IPS, remote╠ ►Cons to Consider: NOT really wireless, cheap feel,╠ ►My Review: *UPDATED* This is replacing a digital frame my kids broke and overall pleased with it. Until it stopped working a month later. It has the same exact physical design and menu settings as the old one, but this has option to be wireless which I thought I needed. Except this isn’t truly wireless. I thought It would automatically sync, but you are so limited. The menu isn’t user friendly, but you get used to it or simply use the included remote. By downloading their app you can transfer ONLY 4 pictures at a time directly to the frame. Otherwise you will want to transfer from your SD or flash drive. I like that this has on board 4gb of memory that can handle my 15k HD photos. The screen seems ok to me, and keep at low contrast for power consumption reasons. Since its IPS it has 180 degree viewing angle to it. It’s nice this handles HD video too. I like the calendar function to it, that I think I am going to bring it to work instead of home. Setting expectations this light 8” HD frame displays good pictures but will take some getting used to. Overall after the failure I can not recommend this product - It is not wireless, does have a cheap feel to it, and is pricey for what it is.

Disappointed first out of the box - felt like a toy, light and made of cheap-feeling plastic. Downloaded the app (needed for the M22) and found it to be non-intuitive and confusing. The menu itself takes some getting used to - too many hoops to jump through to get to a simple setting. After reading all of the directions, I plugged in a USB flash drive and the initial pictures were very high contrast and dark, giving me the "opportunity" to learn the commands from the remote. After adjusting the colors/brightness/contrast, it was a nice picture. The transition which flipped the picture like a book page stayed choppy after continuous play, all other photo transitions were smooth. I had the impression the video and photo files would be together in the queue and play seamlessly as they came up. Nope, they were in separate files and played separately. (Could be my error.) Overall, good picture, but decided I could simply put the USB in my TV and watch on a larger screen.

It didn’t last. I used for graduation day party only and the screen went out. I also thought the programming was not user friendly.

Mine quit working after 2 months, only using it during the day at work so wasnt leaving it on 24/7. 2 stars because it worked great at first!

 I love this M22 digital picture frame, 8-inch just enough for me. 4GB built-in memory can storage about 20,000 pictures.This is great for me. I like to take photos for our family and record beauty landscape in my trip by my phone. Of course, I also like to take photos for myself. More convenient for me is that I can send my pictures from my phone to digital frame by APP. It is so simple to set up.Sharing Time: Just following these steps, you can use it well, too!First, you need to open M22 digital frame by connecting with power;Second, Come the Home page and you will find “Setting” option, choose it;Third, Find “WIFI Setup” in the bottom line, choose it, you will find QR, use you phone to scan and download APP to your phone;Fourth, Connect with the M22 digital frame internal WIFI. My digital frame WIFI name is “DPF-M22-8B9B30”.Yes, now you can upload you pictures and video from your phone by APP.Let me feel confused is this WIFI is not really home WIFI, you do not need any network when you send pictures or videos from your phone to the digital frame.I love this APP because it has a remote control function, so easy to control.I also can use my SD card to slide show all my memory pictures. My friend very love it too, I want to buy one again as a gift for my friend.

Loved this product
