The ViewSonic VFM1035W-52M is an 8” SwifTouch digital photo frame with a crisp, digital LCD panel that offers 800 x 600 resolution. The second of three 4:3 SwifTouch digital frames in the ViewSonic VFM line, the ViewSonic VFM835-52M is a slight downgrade from the ViewSonic VFM1035W-52M in that it offers a slightly reduced size of 8” (versus 10”). Despite the difference in size, however, the VFM835-52M in all other ways is essentially a duplicate of its upgraded peer and in fact maintains the same features. For instance, the VFM835-52M also utilizes ViewSonic’s hidden, sliding touch control panel on the two vertical sides of the frame. Users can now adjust various different settings through the use of a more convenient and better-designed interface. In addition, the VFM835-52M doesn’t just support JPEG image formats, but it fact also offers support for MP3, MPEG-1, and MPEG-4 music/video playback formats. The VFM835-52M also boasts 2GB of internal storage, a calendar function, an alarm function, a clock function, a USB port, and compatibility with CF, MMC, MS, and SD cards. The ViewSonic VFM835-52M retails for a slightly more affordable $159.00 (versus $189.00) and comes with a 3 year limited warranty.
