Product Review: Royal PF141 Digital Photo Frame with Travel Clock ($59.99)

Overall: I tested both gifs and jpegs. The Royal PF141 has better photo quality than the PF140, but the battery for the clock doesn't stay securely in place. Consequently, offering an alarm and snooze feature isn't anything special if the battery doesn't work right.

Features: 1.4" LCD Screen, alarm & snooze feature, fold-out kickstand, slideshow mode, supports JPEG, BMP, PNG & GIF formats, USB 1.0.

Package includes: Flip-over protective cover, USB cable, charger and software.

How It Works: Install the PhotoFrame 1.4 software. Press both arrow buttons simultaneously to power on the device. Depress either button to activate slideshow mode. To set the clock, use the H and R buttons on the left side of the device, and set the button on the back to Time Set. The Royal PF141 holds up to 59 photos, but I was only able to store 53 on it.

Likes: Alarm & snooze. Displays time. Better photo quality than the PF140. When you hit the snooze button, the display lights up blue. Portable.

Gripes: The micro cell battery for the clock doesn't stay securely in place, so the clock kept turning on and off. Buzzer could be louder. The design is rather flimsy; seems like some of the controls would be easy to break or fall off, especially the snooze button. Could have used a bigger LCD screen for this model.
