Attaching to network issues.......2006-06-06

As mentioned in another review, you can only format with Fat32. Not a real good option for a network storage device.

The USB interface was recognized by the computer however, I could not access this device to set up for network use. I followed the instructions given to find this device and even access via the web interface. I was never able to configure this device. I spent 2 frustrating days attempting to configure it.

Went to the support web site and found very little information regarding this issue. Contacting support turned out to be fruitless.

I returned this device and bought another product which worked flawlessly.

File format problems.......2006-04-05

This product is only capable to format a hard drive in FAT32 format. This is neither the standard for the PC nor the Mac. If you have a pure PC or Mac network, I advise getting a NAS that uses the appropriate format.

The FAT32 format only makes sense if you use it as a cross-platform NAS. But even then it is pretty poor, as it requires tight rules for file names. I constantly ran into problems where back-ups got interrupted due to incorrect file names (too long, wrong characters).

I decided to send the product back and try my luck with a different one.

Bad Product!.......2006-03-21

I don't think I have ever been as disappointed in a computer related product as I was with this one. I highly suggest you avoid buying it. Repeated emails to Coolmax's customer support (support@coolmaxusa.com) went unanswered, and for that alone I feel a company doesn't' deserve my business.

The device worked fine through the USB 2.0 connection, but as a network storage device it was horrible. It never reached a data transfer rate above 8 Mbps even though it purports to be 100 Mbps. With that slow of a transfer the device was completely useless to me. I bought it with the intention of centralizing and scheduling/automating backups for all of my family's PCs -- which entail approximately 120 gigs of data that needs to be backed up on a bi-weekly basis. At 8 Mbps the backups would never finish. In fact, at 8 Mbps there isn't much practical use for this product unless you are just planning on saving a few very small files on it. I don't know if this was a defect in the product I purchased, or in the product line itself because, again, their customer support doesn't answer their emails.

To add to the frustration the device looses its name and workgroup every time you reboot it!

I finally had to return this item to Amazon.com for a full refund.

CTA Digital MI-PF15 15-Inch Digital Picture Frame.......2007-09-07

This item does not function as advertised. The remote control does not function and it will not open folders. The same folder continues to rotate through the slide show. Other folders cannot be accessed. I have returned it and am waiting for a refund.

CTA Digital MI-PF15 15-Inch Digital Picture Frame.......2007-08-16

I went to the CTA web site and downloaded the Users Manual for the MI-PF15 such that I could fully understand the functionality of the unit before I made a purchase. Satisfied with the functionality, I purchased the MI-PF15. The Users Manual that came with the frame was identical to the one that I reviewed online. The CTA frame lacks many function that are described in the CTA MI-PF15 User Manual.

Such as:
1) There is no Video Out on the frame and no setup screens for video. The User Manual describes the selection of NTSC, PAL,S-Video, YPBPR, and RGB for VGA.
2) There is no Folder Repeat option as indicated in the User Manual
3) etc.

Otherwise the unit is OK.

Poor quality control.......2007-07-13

I tried to order this product twice and each time it came with dead pixels. I am very disappointed. I gave up on this product and am looking for something else. Picture quality would have been fine. Do note that the contrast ratio is 450:1 so the color isn't as vibrant as your monitor. However, I believe that it is customary in the digital frame market.

great .......2007-05-11

I have tried the Axion 7 inch frame was not very excited so

I bought my wife the cta 15 inch as a present and this is unbelievable the quality is beautiful the picture is as sharp as can be play mp-3 and video so far I believe based on price is a steal for a 15 inch digital frame with that kind of sharpness

Keep Searching.......2007-05-10

This picture frame is quite large and boasts 1024 x 768 resolution. However in terms of picture quality the much smaller Phillips 8", which I had previously purchased, is far superior. Specifically, the contrast ratio, the color and the resolution of the CTA MI-PF15 are all very poor in comparison to the Phillips.

One of the features that this screen offers that the Phillips does not is the ability to play music and movies. However, when attempting to play a simple movie recorded with a Canon Powershot camera, this device failed.

In addition, CTA MI-PF15 that we purchased has a very obvious 'stuck pixel' right near the center of the display area.

In conclusion, for your money, you can find much better picture quality. The extra size of this frame does not make up for the poor picture quality.
