REVIEW: SUN 8 Inch Digital Photo Frame
Taiwan based SUN Group are not a well known brand, but in fact are one of the leading manufacturers of digital photo frames. Most of their products are exported to the US and Europe markets. This, their 8 inch model, is their most popular model so I opened the box with some anticipation.
The first impression is that this is a very well designed product with a solid construction. The mounting options and stand configuration is the best design I have seen on a digital frame: 4 screw mount holes, 2 hook mount holes and an extendable stand, all of which can be used to orient the frame either horizontally or vertically.

The user interface is of the standard type used on many models of digital photo frames and is not hard to pick up by trial and error. The user manual is also quite good for those of us who are more technically challenged.
The feature of the calendar, clock and alarm is definitely a bonus and the ability to schedule the frame to turn on an off at certain times of the day is also something that could see it being used in a retail / advertising environment with great effect.
Overall, I can definitely recommend this frame - the LCD screen display is excellent and the user interface and features are certainly top of the line. If you're in the market for a digital frame and want something more than a bargain basement model, then buy this product and you won't be disappointed.
