Brilliant only allows you to add up to 50 images, so you'll need to be selective in what you add, but it's nice that you can do this. I love walking into my office and seeing my favorite images flash on the screen. So obviously, I added several pictures of my cat and dog to the slideshow. When I downloaded the Brilliant app, I discovered that it allowed me to upload my own pictures and have the Brilliant double as a digital picture frame. When not in use, the units default to displaying the time and date while scrolling through a slideshow of gorgeous stock pictures. The interface is intuitive and offers plenty of helpful settings options, which allowed me to customize my Brilliant panels the way I wanted. I just tap the screen to wake the unit up and then swipe to the side to access the different menus and devices connected with the panel. Intuitive setup and interface Super easy to use
