I've been researching large digital frames for almost a year. My priorities were a large size frame; a good quality picture, viewable from different angles; a 4:3 ratio, since that's the standard size I shoot; and a random shuffle mode. The Opteka 15" unit had all those & the majority of the reviews were positive.

The only thing I was worried about, based on many reviews on this site, was that the power adapter wouldn't fit into its compartment. Although the frame was a Christmas present, I opened it as soon as I received it to check it out. I removed the single screw holding the door over the rear adapter compartment, plugged the cord into the unit, slid the adapter into its slot in the compartment, and replaced the door. I have no idea what some folks are trying to do with that adapter that they can't get it in. It seems obvious that it needs to go in flat side down, and not with one of the larger dimensions upward. And regarding the comment about a 6 inch cord  mine has a 5 ft. cord.

I've been very impressed with the picture quality and operation so far. Personally, I think using the remote is a little more intuitive than using the buttons on the back. The picture quality remains a lot better than other brands I've seen when viewing from an angle. The only recommendation I would make is for some longer time settings in the shuffle mode.

All in all a very good unit.
