Product Description |
| Designed & Styled by London's NIX Digital, and sold throughout the UK and Germany, NIX proudly present their new top of the range Cordless Digital Picture Frame. The NIX TS08C incorporates key design features and components that combine to deliver a better frame and reproduction of your photos. Styled & designed by NIX, high tech processing power and firmware made by leading processor chip manufacturer Amlogic of California USA, and the all important LCD screen, an Innolux Hi-Res SVGA Active Matrix LCD Screen with LED backlighting, that provides wider viewing angles and crisp, clear images. Whether it's sharing you holiday photos using the cordless function and passing the frame amongst friends round the coffee table, or viewing photos from your desk, this digital frame does it all in style and with the finest build quality. Featured is an Internal Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery allowing for cordless use, a 1GB Internal Memory, an Auto-Rotate Motion sensor that automatically senses when you have rotated the frame and rotates subsequent photos, Touch Sensitive Controls set down the right hand side of the frame for improved ergonomic use & a random display option for your photo slideshows. The superior image quality of the NIX TS08C delivers 20% more pixels than the Sony 9" & the Kodak 8" & 10" Frames, and over four times the number of pixels on a standard 7" frame. The display dimensions are optimal at 4:3 as that is the standard dimension of digital photos taken by a camera. So unlike the Sony or Kodak frames which all have widescreen displays, our frame will not crop your photos. Set against a flat dark surface, the touch controls light up azure blue (on & off) upon your touch, providing a modern, yet elegant look. A video option allows you to watch videos (.avi and MP4 only), and the massive 1GB internal memory provides ample memory to store your home movies and photos. MP3/ WMA music playback, a calendar, and an alarm clock finish off the feature list. |

 Great Frame |
| Review Date: September 20, 2009 |
| Reviewer: D. Mathes, debary, florida United States |
| This is my first digital frame and I must have read a million reviews. I had a question about this frame before I bought it. I emailed Nix and had an answer the next day. I bought this, received it quickly and it was amazingly easy to use. The picture quality is great, I love the fact that you can carry it with you without having to plug it in. I just downloaded some avi videos to it and they play great. I had a question after I got the frame (they have a black and white effect in the random effects mode and I thought it was a problem, it's not). Again, I emailed Nix and they got back to me right away. In this day and age of begging anyone with a company to help, that was just wonderful. I am very pleased with this purchase, would highly recommend it to anyone. |
Outstanding Quality and Intuitive Design

| I bought this model through the UK amazon when living in London, great to see them here now in the US. The difference with the nix and other big branded frames is that this is the most easy to use (I threw my Kodak in the bin after 4 months...)I can watch my cherised episodes of 24 then listen to my new Kings of Leon album without having to move an inch coz the nix has a pretty slick remote too, perfect for this lazy moments... I also got my mom one for her birthday and even she can use it... and thats sayin something :) |
perfect for my grandma who has bad eyesight

| i previously bought one of the cheaper nix frames for myself and was pleased with it. I then wanted a frame for my elderly mom, with mom being fairly immobile and her eyesight not too good I needed something she could hold close to her. A frame sitting a few metres away wasn't going to cut it. I noticed that some other reviewers have written really detailed reviews listing all the pro's and con's so i won't bother, but the bottom line is that with the battery this frame does something the others can't and I'm really happy my mother can just sit in her special chair and flick through the photos and vids i put on the frame of her grand kids. the brightly lit touch controls on the front make it easy for her to see and operate the controls. all in all, a well thought out frame. |
Great gift!

Got this as a gift for my parents who are not technologically inclined. They don't have a digital camera, they don't use computers. But they love the photos of their granddaughter more than anything else I send them. So, rather than constantly printing out tons of photos which cover every nightstand in their home, we decided to get them a digital picture frame for the holidays. The picture quality of this item is amazing! I've compared it to some of the frames I've seen in friends' homes and it's photo quality is comparable to the best, without costing as much as the bigger brands. The frame itself is sleek and integrates with most decors. The controls are located on the right side of the screen and when you touch them, they illuminate. When dormant, they fade to the black of the screen. The size of the screen is perfect -- just large enough to show the fine details of group photos, but not too large to take over your dresser or mantel.
We loaded up all the photos and videos onto the frame before giving it as a gift. Using the frame is as simple as plugging it in, turning the on switch, and it automatically goes through a random slideshow of all the photos on the frame--this is exactly what I needed for my parents. Getting into the videos or music functions of the frame is a little tricker, but is not too complicated. And loading the photos onto the frame was as easy as plugging in the USB cable, and then dragging photos from My Photos folder over to copy in the Photo Frame folder.
My only wish is that the random slideshow is more random. It sometimes repeats the same photo every 10-15 frames or so. |
Slick and easy to use - battery power rules!

I own this frame already and recommended this to my cousin who at first was a little hesitant cause of some of the mixed reviews, but given we could get a guaranteed refund from amazon she decided to go for it. I'll try to give a straight forward pro's and con's:
Pro's:
1. The battery is a definite must. I can never get my husband to sit still at home to look at OUR family pics or the latest new videos of our new nephew, so instead when i pick him up from work, he sometimes browses though the latest vids and pics in the car on the way home.
2. Screen is clear and crisp and you can adjust brightness etc to suit your needs.
3. Design is most definitely sleek and modern.
4. flat screen touch controls are very 'star trek' - but most importantly it means you're facing the controls and they're not on the back where you can't see them
5. Big memory
6. Adjustable stand (very important as my son is 6'4" and I'm only 5'3")
7. Plays all the family photos and videos no problem. never really use the music player much.
8. Nice black velvet dust cover.
9. easy to use remote with short cut buttons - one press for photos - one press for videos etc
Con's
1. battery seems to last about 2 - 2.5 hours. would be really cool if it was 5 hours then I would use it more for travel and movies.
2. Would be cooler if it had an HDMI cable output for TV connection
3. If you fill the internal memory up to capacity and play large files the system can slow down a little
4. Doesn't remember what the last photo on display was when you power off the frame
the only other two points that i would add are firstly the battery, which means I get a lot more usage out of my frame. it's just easier to take it around to our friends houses to show them the latest. Secondly, I didn't really realize the convenience of this frame until i was at a friends house and tried to use theirs. It seemed nuts that the controls on their frame were on the back of the frame so I was having to guess which buttons did what exactly. the touch controls on the front make it easier to use, note though that the controls are on the right of the frame favoring right handed people |
