Hi
I am looking for a digital picture frame (the bigger - the better, right
now I am looking for 12" or 15").
The frame should load images from SD card and - now comes the most
important feature: Show images on the SD card (slideshow) in a **truely
random order**. By truely random I mean each time I turn the frame on and
the slideshow starts the images are most likely in a different order (aka
random) than when I run the slideshow before.
Sounds normal - it's not at this time (at least it seems to me, that
manufacturers have a pretty different understanding of the word random).

Of course it would not hurt to have extra features, but a **random**
slideshow is the most important for me, thinking that I actually want to
see not only the first 50 images of let's say 6000 on the SD card.

Any suggestions?

Olaf

How about a 27"?

Do want to qualify your request with additional parameters like, say
cost?

Or any PC running Windows 7 with the desktop set to slideshow :-)

Hi,

well, the pricerange is not the most important at this time. I am just
trying to evaluate which companies and which frames can do this at all.
Or course: The cheaper the better, SD card, random (!) slideshow and at
least 12" - no fancy stuff needed (=wlan, webserver,time/calendar...)

iPad is not an option. IF you ask for a price range, it should be less than
US$ 200 - or let's say 150 Euros

At 12" you have eliminated most of them. 12" picture frames are high end
and should do all kinds of neat things. Check the manufactures web site and
all the features should be listed for each model.
