Review on Enhance Your Memories with NIX X08C Hu-Motion: 8 Inch Digital Picture Frame with Motion Detection Sensor by Kevin Singh

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Exactly what I wanted

I bought the Nix 8 inch model to replace the 3 year old PanDigital 7 inch frame to replace. Nix has a MUCH brighter and sharper display and better transition effects. It was one of the few frames of this size that I could find, with a resolution of 800x600 (important) and a minimalist design (perhaps too much). I use a special Class 4 2GB SD card to store my photos. 2-3 times a year I take it out of the frame and add new photos that I want. Image randomization works great for me and I have a lot of it. Sometimes I see it linger in directories, displaying 3-4 images from a similar group, but that's not bad, and it never gets stuck in one spot for long. I use a frame on the X-10 timer to turn it on and off at specific times and luckily it doesn't lose settings when turned off (as I feared). Must have an internal charged backup battery. The only minor criticism I have of the minimalist design is that the frame might be a bit too bland cosmetically; plain black on black. I'm thinking of getting a traditional bezel for it and giving the display a matte finish to help it blend in with my living room. It would be nice if Nyx made this available as an accessory. Also, the 8 inch screen is too small in my opinion, although it is larger than the 7 inch screen I had on a PanDigital unit before. That's not the Nix frame's fault of course,

Pros
  • Motion sensor turns the frame on and off automatically when you enter and exit the room
Cons
