Make sure the aspect ratio of the screen is 4:3 (i.e. 800x600, 1024x768 etc). 16:9 is fine for movies, but useless for photos.

If you want a classic looking frame and are not scared to spend a bit more look at the Coby range. http://www.kalahari.com/cameras/Coby-8-Digital-Photo-Frame/5610/41930512.aspx. Build quality on these are really good.

Otherwise kalahari have this one for cheap and the specs look decent. http://www.kalahari.com/cameras/hama-8-value-digital-picture-frame/5610/44132432.aspx

I have a kodak one, very nice, makes pictures stand out.
Colours are all real , like the day you took the picture.

I bought my wife this one:

I think that it is a good product. There are probably better ones, but for the size/price, I am happy with the purchase.

They can be purchased @ Incredible Corruption & Hi-Fi Corruption

great thanks for the response guys, like the colby digital frame, did not know they can play video too - that would be great if I can get my late uncles double 8 home movies on it for her.
