Purchased this because I have always wanted one of these picture frames. It is so handy to plug in a flash drive or memory card of my photos and view my travel photos with my family. The photos are crisp and clear ..It is definitely a plug and play item and easy to use, even for a technophobe like me! The remote control allows you to view from across the room. It can even play music if you have added music to your pictures and play videos . It makes a great gift for a friend or for yourself.
