Product Description
Why bother turning your frame on and off all the time? Featuring an
inbuilt motion sensor, the frame will turn itself on when it senses
any motion and off again when it senses no motion. This frame is
perfect for parents and grandparents who just want a frame that works,
without the hassle of having to actually operate it. As well as it's
ease of use; the frame features a high resolution SVGA screen with LED
backlighting. Importantly the frame will also play your MPEG-4 / .AVI
video, JPEG photos and MP3 music. The motion sensor is very easily set
up and can be set to switch off after sensing no movement in time
increments from 30 seconds to 1 hour. When the frame activates after
sensing movement it can play either your photos (from where it left
off in the slideshow), videos or music. The choice is yours.
Additional features include an auto rotate sensor that flips your
photos 90 degrees when you physically rotate the frame. This optimizes
the use of the screen for your portrait (vertical) photos. Ideal for
showing off that holiday you just got back from! Remember that
connecting the frame to external speakers via the audio jack allows
for an even richer sound experience.

The NIX X08A vs. the NIX X07B (and other 7" frames)
By Samuel Chell
Amazon's introductory prices for these NIX digital frames were enough
in themselves to catch my attention. I started with the 7" model and,
though my expectations were not high, sensed that the combination of
the extra wide dimensions (necessitating constant repositioning of the
frame) and lackluster resolution would result in my finding little if
any use for the frame. NIX customer support was so helpful that I
decided to stay with the brand but to move up to this 8" model. It's
all the difference in the world and well worth the extra expense.
First, the 4:3 dimensions of this frame assure that you can load it,
start it, and forget it. No need to turn the frame on its long end to
fill the frame for every vertically-oriented image. Even with auto
rotation and split screen features, the extra wide (16:9) screens, or
aspect ratios, of the lower-priced NIX and some of the other
"stretched" frames introduce problems because of the different
orientations of shots and the cropped or distorted shapes that
frequently ensue upon tweaking an image to fill a frame. But there's
more . . .
The picture of the 8" model, I'm convinced, has sharper definition and
brighter, more pleasing colors--very close, if not equal, to a high-
definition computer screen. Additionally, the slide show and
transitions are performing more consistently, with the photos even
showing more regularly in their correct--horizontal or vertical--
orientation. And the size of the frame is such that a vertical photo,
even though appearing in a frame that's slightly wider than it is
high, does not look disproportionate. In fact, with this frame it's
highly unlikely you'll turn the frame vertically to activate its
"automatic orientation" feature. Finally, unlike the XO7B, which comes
with a quick set-up sheet, the XO8A comes with a more informative and
complete little booklet, including a trouble-shooting section (the
instructions are perhaps less clear than those with the 7" model, but
the frame is practically "plug and play," not requiring close
examination of the manual. (If you do any tweaking, I'd recommend
trying the automatic "crop" feature. It may reduce some of the area of
your photos, but it won't distort or diminish size, consequently
making it all the easier to keep the frame in a single, fixed
position. I'm so satisfied with what this frame does for the photos
taken with my Canon Elf (SD-780), I haven't even bothered to try out
the video and music features. Frankly, they're not the reason I was in
the market for a digital frame.
For either frame, it would undoubtedly be a good idea for many
purchasers to order an inexpensive 2 GB flash card at the same time
and to "dedicate" it exclusively for use in the frame (try to avoid
the apparent "bundled" deal, which could cost you extra in postage.
Instead, enter the item in "search" and order it from Amazon Prime,
which offers a nice Kingston card for about five dollars). Finally,
before calling or writing the company about a missing back-rest for
this frame, notice that, unlike the 7" model (which employs a
separate, detachable plastic piece), this 8" model has a handier,
embedded telescoping silver rod. Simply use your thumbnail to pull it
out of the back of the frame and you'll find it plenty sturdy for this
lightweight frame.
Just a couple of caveats: First, the generally well-equipped
audiophile is unlikely to make much use (if any) of the built in
speakers and MP3 player. Second, the cost to the company of these
added, perhaps mostly unused, features is likely reflected in the
price. In that case, better the extra features were eliminated
altogether or their expense devoted to the one feature that every user
would certainly find most useful of all--a rechargeable battery,
enabling cordless operation. These frames are currently undergoing
rapid changes on the part of all manufacturers, so expect to see more
cordless models, more onboard memory with convenient computer
interfacing, and lower prices in the near future. But as anyone who
has acquired any consumer technology in the last ten years knows all
too well, such obsolescence goes with the territory (no longer is it a
wise idea to spend a thousand or more on a TV set--these are not
appreciating assets--in fact, quite the contrary).

RE: NIX Customer Support: I sent an e-mail with questions related to
this model as well as a couple of others. The response was swift,
extremely detailed, entirely personal (not an automated response), and
very informative and helpful. (By contrast, Logitech offered to
replace an entire keyboard with a bad key providing I e-mailed proof
of purchase. I was extremely impressed and pleased, since I had hoped
for, at most, a single replacement key. However, despite my 3 attempts
to mail them my Amazon invoice--everything from a Jpeg to PDF to
screen shot--I received the automatic response: "Your requested
evidence of purchase is inadequate. Use a different format." If that's
a company's version of "customer service," I'd rather receive service
from another company, or no service at all, rather that repeatedly
feel like someone is jerking my chain.)]

Decent for price with room for improvement
By mum of twins
I was looking for a digital frame for my husbands office and decided
on the NIX x08A frame based on the affordable price. It was $10
dollars less than a Kodak digital photo frame (Kodak Easyshare P730m)
with the added capability of playing videos and music.
Pros:
- Frame was delivered super fast (two days) and shipping was free.
- Setups between two frames is fairly easy when using a usb flash
drive. The NIX does have a remote which helps to keep fingerprints off
frame. The Kodak menu is a bit more sophisticated and pretty to look
at.
- I like the built in frame stand on the NIX.
-Sound is decent when playing videos. Did not try playing music on
this frame.
Cons:
-The screen quality was not as vibrant as the Kodak EasyShare. I tried
adjusting the contrast and brightness but the Kodak frame was just
superior straight out of box.
-The buttons on the back of frame is a bit sticky and I had to push
really hard before it responded.
- USB flash drive not hidden by frame. I used a 1" flash drive and it
was still visible from the front of frame.
Overall, the frame is decent for the price.

Super Value and Crisp Image Toooo!
By L. Hill
Quite simple really, if you want a straight forward frame that works
straight out of the box and does the following:
-Crisp hi-res image
-Plays photo, video and sound/music
-Can play your photos in random order
-looks good
-very very easy to use
then this frame ticks the boxes. I really like the split screen
function as well (well actually my daughter does). I also like that
the stand folds away back inside the frame so you can't lose it. I
would write a more detailed review, but the frame seems quite straight
forward as advertised so need for many words.
