I’m getting married soon and this frame was sent to me as a gift from a buddy. We were plotting on using it after the honeymoon, but after a chat with the wedding photographer we’ve chose to have it setup at the wedding. The photographer is going to load photos that he’s taken as the day goes on so people can have a look. Especially as only half the guests are invited to the church service so it will be nice for the later arrivals to see what had been happening before they arrived.

Though I’ve not used the frame extensively I did give it a excellent going over with the wedding photographer and he seemed impressed. As the frame is simple and quick to use I’m hoping that the wedding guests will just upload their own videos and photos they’ve taken as the day goes on too!

The frame feels quite sturdy which is helpful as you don’t realize how huge a 12 inch screen is until you get it out of the box.

I researched digital frames for weeks and weeks before settling on this NIX 12 inch frame. I specifically wanted the 4:3 format, 12 inch frame, at least 800 x 600 resolution. It was hard to find a frame that satisfied these three requirements. I am a brand name shopper and really wanted a Sony or Toshiba. I was willing to pay more for THE BRAND. I thought the Toshiba had the nicest looking frame but I couldn’t find it in a 12 inch without the widescreen. I have never heard of NIX but for the price, I thought I would give it a try. I like Amazon because of the return policy I finally chose on this “cheaper” frame. It arrived with brilliant packaging. Strong box with lots of protection. The frame is plastic but it is very heavy, very durable. Very sharp looking. I like it much better than the wooden frames. I had 1400 photos loaded in a matter of minutes. It is super simple to use though the instructions I thought were a bit misleading. I am using an SD card and I have an incredible slideshow at random of all my favorite pictures. I haven’t even tried the music or video yet. It has already surpassed my expectations. It also splits the screen which I haven’t tried yet either. The time of show can also be adjusted. The remote is very adequate. It can be turned off with the remote which some cannot. The color is fantastic. It is a bit dark at a distance due to the slant of the frame but the 12 inch is just such an incredible presentation. I have no dead pixels. I really couldn’t be more pleased with this frame. It is such a pleasure to view. I like this frame. Kudos to NIX which is a new brand to me! Why pay twice as much for a smaller frame? My only disappointment is that I have to work and can’t just sit at home and savor the memories all day long.
