I gave this to my husband as an anniversary present and it’s so great. It’s actually turned out to be a present for us both. It’s so nice to see the pictures slideshow. The only thing I would say is that I am not sure how pictures that I haven’t uploaded get on there so still trying to figure that one out.
The random selection appears to favour certain pictures, and the brightness sensor is a little temperamental, but these are minor gripes. I love the frame!
Good build & display quality, a heavy unit! Poor pre-sale info: can it be wall-hung? No. How long's the cable? About 6 ft. Is the 15" Walden coming to UK? Dunno! App works well. Would personally prefer local storage over cloud, but maybe I'm just too old and cynical. And will this be free & unlimited forever? It basically functions as a bucket for all of the photos/albums you choose to sync with it. I'd prefer to be able to choose a particular album, depending on who's visiting ;-) Unless I'm missing something, this can only be done by pruning albums/images 'permanently' (then re-adding them later) Good at auto-fitting images, and easy to tweak if needed. iOS app is a bit laggy when 'waking up' but I think this an iOS problem, as I have similar issues with eg. music apps. The option to share/download images from the app is very good, as is the feature to invite other users. Would love to use 'auto display' but it seems to shut down unless in bright daylight. We have a cozy room, with dark walls, so would be great to customise the light-level for activation/sleep. The display panel has a 'wavy edge' light-wise, when booting up, in dark screen, which was sub-optimal, but TBH, once displaying photos, everything looked great. But overall, as a keen photographer, in the digital frame space, there's probably nothing else that comes close. The size of Samsung's Frame TV appeals, despite higher cost, but it seems to get very mixed reviews. So it's really nice to bring a hoard of neglected files, and their associated memories, back to life with the Mason Luxe. Everybody else, ie. the non-sys-admins, likes it a lot!
The frame is great and displays our photos really well. The light detection works well so we don’t have to remember to switch it off at night. The only feature I think it lacks is compatibility with Amazon photos. This is a little bit disappointing.
