Manufacturer's Description

Bring your photos back to life! Relive your treasured memories and bring your old pictures back to life with Linx Memoire digital photo frames!
	High Resolution, LCD Screens The Linx Memoire frames use a high resolution digital LCD panel* that enables you to get the very best out of your pictures and to relive those cherished memories in the best possible way. Why is high resolution important? Quite simply, the more pixels you have on display the clearer and crisper the image looks. So Linx use a high resolution screen in the Memoire photo frames* to ensure that the images you are displaying look as clear and crisp as possible. Brightness and Contrast Controls The Memoire photo frames give you the added control of contrast and brightness adjustment which allows you to make slight corrections to the light levels and the brightness of the photo frame. *Memoire 7LTD and Memoire 7B use analogue LCD panels – 480 x 234 resolution
	4-in-1 Memory Card Reader No PC? Don't worry! Memoire photo frames have a built in card reader that allows you to take the memory card straight from your digital camera and simply insert into your Memoire frame and start viewing your pictures! The 4-in-1 card reader allows your frame to read either MS (Memory Stick), MS-PRO (Memory Stick Pro), MMC (Multi Media Card) or SD (Secure Digital) giving compatibility for most common digital cameras.
	USB Connectivity As USB memory sticks are becoming more and more popular and inexpensive now these provide an ideal way of storing your photos. At Linx we have taken this on board and included a high speed USB port in the Memoire so that you can simply plug in your USB stick and view your photos through the easy to use menu's on the Memoire.
	Built-in Battery Wouldn't it be great to have your digital photo frame on display where everyone can see it? Or even better, wouldn't it be great to be able to pass it round when friends and family come over for even easier viewing of all your pictures? Well the Linx Memoire* allows you to do just that! The built-in battery allows the frame to run for around 2hours without mains power - this is perfect for those living room view sessions! *Excludes Memoire 7LTD
	Auto Rotate There’s nothing more annoying than having your photo’s displayed in the wrong way! So, we’ve built in an easy to use auto rotate system* in to the Memoire photo frames that can tell which way up your frame is and will arrange the picture accordingly! *Excludes Memoire 7LTD
	Stereo Speakers – find the perfect sound track to your pictures The ideal accompaniment to your photo’s – the built in speakers allow you to listen to your favorite MP3 track either on its own or while your viewing your images. The Memoire photo frames also allow you to view video clips* (MPEG4) in the same way that you can listen to MP3’s or view photo’s. This is great for when you take short video clips on your digital camera of those "can’t miss moments" such as your child first bike ride, or your friend’s birthday party! *Excludes Memoire 7LTD
	Full function remote control The full function remote control that is supplied with all of the Linx Memoire photo frames* come with a full frame remote control that gives you easy access to all of the main features of the Memoire frames.

Fantastic LINX frame!
Im a big fan of the Linx frames , and now have the new 8" memoire on my desk at work . The finish is sleek and grown up and the image transitions are fantastic making any slideshow a real pleasure to watch, there is plenty of flexibility in the set up to adjust contrast and sharpness etc but not too much to get lost. The menu interface is simple and intuitive like ive found with the other Linx frames ive bought. All in all a great looking frame , more sophisticated in appearance than a lot of other plastic looking designs. Picture quality is as excellent as ive seen and again a marked improvement over the middle market frames , and at Amazons price now a complete steal. Im a fan and would recommend to anyone looking for an 8" frame with all the features and great picture quality at a price you would expect to pay for a 7"! Well done again LINX!

Easy to Use, Great for Presents!
I bought my new frame about two weeks ago, and I'm really pleased with it. The picture quality is great and I'd definitely say its worth the extra money over some of the cheaper, not-so-good quality brands out there.
The functions are simple - theres lots of different ways to get the frame to display your pictures, including one called the 'Life' mode, which almost makes your pictures look like they're moving!!
It also plays movies and sound, so all the little videos I had on my camera from holidays and nights out can go on there too.
It looks really good - its a shiny black surface, which looks a lot more modern than other frames.
I really like this frame - I would recommend it to anyone who wants something that looks and performs really well.

Could be better
This is my first digi frame so maybe most brands suffer from the same problems.

The frame needs to be viewed at near face level or higher otherwise the screen appears very dim, therefore if you are viewing it from a chair you need to site the frame lower than eye level, so the mantlepiece option doesn't work when you are sat down relaxing.

On my frame you have to hold the on button for about ten seconds before it powers up.

The battery does not seem to charge up during normal operation mode, unless of course approx, 20- 30 minutes is the normal run time for a new battery, it's only a small battery so maybe I'm expecting too much.

My main frustration is wth the delay intervals: 3,5, 15 seconds no problem here but it then jumps to 1 minute, a 30 second option would have been nice but not a major problem. My main gripe is that the delay then jumps from 1 to 15 minutes (seems like a lifetime), why no 5 minute option?

Most of my photos are in the landscape mode and unless I want to experience major cropping of the bottom of the photo I have to switch to the 4:3 option and therefore not using all of the available frame, I think this may be a problem of all digi frames so maybe I should say thanks for providing the 4:3 option.

There are enough transition options to please everyone out there, sadly the Life option, which could be very good is let down by the fact that if selected it defaults your selected delay setting to zero. Why can't the software make the dynamic transition after letting you enjoy the statinary photo for your requested delay?

Comments, cures,advise welcome.
Thanks Bob
