What is the optimal resolution for loading pictures? Various sources seem to indicate this frame has a 480x234 pixel resolution, but when I load photos that are 480x234 and set it to display them at "original" image size (as opposed to "optimal") they do not fill the screen vertically. In other words, the LCD itself may be 480x234, but it seems that the software inside the frame thinks that it's something else (with a slightly taller/narrower aspect ratio).I'd like to custom-crop all my photos on my PC so that I can keep them (a) from the looking distorted due to aspect ratio adjustments and (b) from looking fuzzy due to the inferior resizing algorithms built into the Pandigital frame. But I can't custom crop if I don't know the correct resolution. What is the optimal resolution for loading pictures?

I just bought a digital frame and have the same question. Supposedly it's 480x220 but just like you - that leaves space top and bottom. I tried various other dimensions but have yet to fill the frame. 450x240 is close but not quite there and the frame is probably doing some unwanted manipulation to the picture.Have you gotten any clues from elsewhere?

Thanks for the extra information, interesting about the rectangular pixels. This seems like a much bigger project than I thought it was going to be. I tried a lot of resolutions and found one that appears to leave only one column of pixels on the right side unused. It's 430x222. Funny how a single digit can make a significant difference.

Hello, If your file sizes are larger, they will fill the the supplied 4GB USB drive "faster". It really depends on the file sizes of how many can be stored. The resolution of this frame is 80 x 600 with a DPI of 72. If you do not resize to this optimal resolution, there could be playback issues or pixelation. It is actually very easy to resize. Here is a helpful link: https://nix.zendesk.com/entries/22222492-How-to-Re-Size-Photos-for-your-Digital-Frame

I believe you (ranthon007) are operating under a false assumption. Regardless of what image size you choose to use, the actual physical pixels on the sensor must necessarily remain the size they are, and if that's too small to let in the ideal amount of light, well then you're stuck. I'm not sure whether smaller output sizes are done by rescaling or by simply using fewer of the pixels (i.e. not the whole sensor), but while you MAY be gaining some reduction of noise, there is NOT an actual increase of detail.(Anyone please correct me if any of the above is in at all incorrect!)

Hello Ji, Thank you for contacting NIX Customer Support. The new X10F frame plays photos and videos. It has internal speakers to provide sound for the videos. The frame's resolution is 1024 x 768 pixels with a DPI of 72. Therefore, the photos that you want to display must not exceed 1024 x 768 pixels and must not go beyond 72 DPI. The frame does not auto re-size and does not auto rotate. It comes with a 4GB NIX USB drive to store and play your photos from. I hope this helps. Thank you. Regards, Angelo

It says the maximum dpi is 600. The resolution on photos is quite good, although it tends to print a bit dark.

I have been researching this frame, and I have found that the aspect ratio is 4:3. Thought I'd answer even though it is way past January!

You might want to try the following using the Screen Settings in the Settings Menu (pp29-30 of the manual):Wide Mode - FullAuto Wide - On4:3 Default (grayed out)Display - Full PixelHorizontal Center - 0Vertical Center - +3This seems to resolve the "over-scan" issues with 1080i. The downside, depending on your point of view, is that everything is displayed in its true aspect ratio (there are a variety of wide screen ratios used even on the same channel.) This could be a distraction, though I got use to it very quickly and don't think about any more. Anyway, give it a try. You can always change it back if you don't like the results.

Frame will display both portrait and landscape oriented pictures. Instructions provide you with a link to download software called FastStone Photo Resizer. Unless you use Photoshop or another program that can resize your photos I recommend downloading this program. It is simple to run and can process multiple pictures at once. In the "advance options" of the program set "resize" to pixels and set it at 800 pixels for width and 600 pixels for height. Also check "switch width and height to match long side" and "preserve aspect ratio". Download the processed photos to a flash drive or memory card and plug it into the frame.

The viewable resolution is 680 x 480, so you could always do that.The sample album pics are 688 x 488, but I would imagine that its a 4 pixel buffer around the edge.

Well let me put it this way, you are blowing up the image to fit with no more data available. That said SD willalways look like crap on a larger screen, that is a fact of life. I dont find this tv to be any worse or better then my Sharp or my Panny. Bottom line, blow up a 35mm negative and a 8 x10 negative to a poster and guess which will look better, same thing here.

You will need to set your scan for the maximum DPI possible and make sure that both the photo being scanned and the scanner glass is as free of dust / lint etc as possible. The only issue I see here is the graininess of the original photo. The larger the grain in the original the less desirable the 36 x 36 print will be.

1080P is a resolution of 1920x1080 non-interlaced (P). My computer monitor settings are set at 1920x1200 and switch between computers running Windows 7 and Vista at one location and Windows XP and Windows 8 at a second location, both locations using the subject switch. No problems at all after a year or so - no flicker, sizing problems or distortion. It's a good switch.

To the best of my knowledge the highest resolution is 1440x1080p which when played back is reported as 1920x1080p. It's not true 1080p but it's better than 720p and honestly it looks pretty damn good, with decent lighting of course.

The video resolution is defaulted at 1280x720. You can also use the setup software to change this in the custom settings to 640x360.

Hi, friend!! I think that your english is poor (like mine) but i feel That I Know the answer. This device had two cameras, in Megapixels the resolution is 3.15 megapixel main camera (rear) capable of doing 720p videos and a VGA front-facing camera (The VGA rating refers only to size and not to clarity. A 640-by-480 pixel image is about the equivalent of a 0.3 megapixel image. The issues of distortion and clarity loss only occur when the image is either enlarged beyond its original parameters for printing or is viewed on a screen that uses a larger resolution) , thats is what you get with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. Given that tablets aren't the most photography-friendly devices, it's probably as much as you are going to need anyway. Greetings..

You will only get the advertised resolution at the native aspect ratio. Unfortunately I am not sure what ratio is native to the 40D, but it may also have had a reduced resolution for the 16:9 aspect.The difference in 12 to 10 megapixels should not have a big effect on your prints, you can also crop from the 4:3 images to get what you would like - with of course the the same loss of pixels, but you may feel more in control of what you lose this way.
