I bought a couple of the Philips units as Xmas gifts. They work really well for that application - ability to send photos easily to remotely located, low-tech, relatives. I configured the units before sending them, setting them to slideshow mode and to power on/off automatically at certain times. Now every few months I send out an updated CF card, they just swap out the cards and send me back the old one for re-use. Works really well, quality of the screen is perfectly acceptable for this use.
