Finally, the lack of a standard one-year warranty was a shock to us Skylight says that although it will send replacements to new buyers who receive faulty units, there is no protection after that point. The only way you can put photos on the Skylight Frame by default is via email, a process that just felt clunky compared with those of our favorite frames. In fact, it even has its own camera and beauty function for those. And it doesn’t even have an app, unless you pay for Skylight’s Skylight Pro service, which is nearly $40 a year. It offers free collage templates, filters, and photo editing tools to let you do everything. It lacks advanced sensors, such as for ambient brightness or motion. It’s also a dim and glossy screen, so it’s hard to see in a bright room.
Its disappointing 1280×800 widescreen IPS display makes photos appear softer than they are and makes colors look less than lifelike. Although it looks well designed from the front, has a touchscreen that makes setup a snap, and even has an affordable $160 price at this writing, there’s less to this frame than meets the eye. The Skylight Frame, which is highly rated on Amazon, is a mixed bag.
