The first thing you'll notice when you turn the frame on is how long the device takes to start up. Once you're up and running, though, the frame is extraordinarily simple to use. Its interface resembles Facebook's. To organize slideshows, including transitions and photo display order, you work through the service's site, sending the finished slideshows to your frame. You can opt to page through your photo collection on the Vizit frame itself, using the touchscreen to label some photos as "favorites" and you can view by Gallery (categories that you set up online) or enlarge thumbnails. The Vizit will automatically rotate photos for display. Because the frame doesn't support audio files, you can't set your slideshows to music.

We were impressed by the screen's viewability from varying angles, but highlights were blown-out and we noticed posterization in some shots. We also detected hints of graininess and blurriness in the background details of certain shots, such as in the logs in a fireplace. Colors looked accurate, however, and the frame handled a wide array of photos we threw at it.

Though we liked the Vizit's intuitive menu system and cellular connectivity options, its price seems way too high. In image quality and overall appearance, the Vizit is no match for the , which currently occupies the number one spot in our chart. Photo frame enthusiasts on a budget might consider the less expensive Parrot Cameo; it's a bit flimsy and has a smaller screen size than the Vizit, but it costs only $100 with a plan from T-Mobile.
