Other frames of this size can offer an image resolution as low as 128x128 so it pays to look at the specification. The 3:2 screen ratio is also closer to the ratio of most digital camera images than the 16:9 frames which either stretch or crop your images.

This is even more bizarre when the frame displays the current time at the bottom right in landscape format, and the controls on the frame are also laid out for holding it in landscape format.

This said, the software does do what it claims and it evens syncs the time from your windows clock automatically - an unexpected minor bonus.

If you can ignore the software frustrations, this is an excellent value frame and comes recommended.
