Professional Photographer Online has reviewed the backlit PhotoGlow frame and here are their thoughts. “PhotoGlow backlit frames incorporate a proprietary ‘edgelighting’ technology which produces uniform illumination, minus the thick and bulky casing. At less than one inch thick, the profile of a PhotoGlow frame is no larger than most desktop or wall mount frames. Sinofsky has placed a tiny lamp at one side of the backlit plate and a mirror at the opposite end to bounce back lighting. These lamps inject light into the backlit plate. When bounced off of mirrors or when combined with the output from other lamps, the plate can be uniformly illuminated like a wall of white light. When a translucent image is placed in front of the backlit plate the combination of reflected light off of the print and transmitted light through the ink make the image pop.”

PCWorld has reviewed the Pandigital DPF80-2 Photo Frame and notes, “Ultimately, however, those added media-playback capabilities are tangential to the main event, namely the display of digital images (one at a time, or in a slide show). For that function the Pandigital DPF80-2 is highly attractive, albeit limited in its browsing functionality. Its bright, crisp screen and its memory card slots–which let you easily supplement the built-in storage–helped it earn a spot on my desk.”
