Smartparts SP800W 8-Inch Digital Picture Wood Frame Review
Special price available at Amazon 
I bought this frame because I got a good deal on it. I didn’t even search reviews because I have another SmartParts picture frame that’s been going strong for about 3 years now running 24/7. After I placed my order I decided to look at some Amazon.com reviews and I immediately got a little concerned.
Well fortunately my concerns were unfounded. Some reviewers that said it has a black plastic frame did not get the right frame or are reviewing a different one. This one has a VERY nice all wood frame. It’s a very classy dark stain. The craftsmanship (I’m sure it’s made by a machine) is excellent. Very surprising for an inexpensive picture frame. The matting also looks very nice.
Another thing in some of the other reviews that’s not correct; you do not need a computer to display pictures. I took my SD card from my camera and inserted it and the slide show started immediately. To copy pictures from the SD card to the internal memory just push the setup button once you are in the main menu and it will give you the option. I also wanted to try the USB port so I plugged one of my thumb drives in; I had a folder with music and a folder with pictures. Well the slide show started displaying pictures and at the same time started playing my music. Now that was very cool. I need to try that with my other Smartparts frame.
All in all; it does what it says it will do and does it very well. The picture is quality is excellent with good viewing angles. The menu is OK. When plugged into a computer it shows up as a mass storage device, so it’s very easy to load pictures. I don’t use the included software (which is good to use if you use the internal storage because it will compress the files to just the right size). The only thing I think it needs is a headphone jack.
If I can find another one at the price I paid I will definitely buy it. Highly recommend (if the price is right).
