I replaced my Pandigital (see reasons for moving from Pandigital below) frame with this Aluratek 15" frame and WOW what a difference. This frame is MUCH easier to use and responds immediately from commands from the remote. It also can view the photos in a multi photo option. It will view just one photo at time if you wish but in multi- mode it shows 2, 3 or 4 at time. On this size of frame the photos are still large and they look beautiful. It randomly changes from the different number of photos shown. I would highly recommend this frame to whomever wants the larger size and actually want some great features not even offered on the Pandigital.

First I have to say the main reason for returning the Pandigital frame is because of the annoying blue arrow that always show in slide show mode (isn't this the mode used most often) When I contacted the manufacture I was told that is just the way it is. I am afraid of a serious burn-in problem if used to long. The navigation/setup of this frame is horrible. I am very tech savy and yet this was not intuitive at all. It would also take several seconds to respond to any action performed from the remote which would make you wonder if it got the signal or not. You have to use the remote if you hang on the wall because they put the controls on the back of the frame (not the sides) so you HAVE to take it off the wall to touch the buttons. You also have to take the frame down and remove back cover if you want to put another SD card in. In order to use the Wi-Fi feature you have to buy THEIR dongle. The last reason is the lack of support from the company.

Though Aluratek is an unknown Chinese company I bought this frame because I wanted one with a large format and an attractive frame. Should have known better. Warranty is ONLY 90 days and 2 days after the warranty expired the frame stopped working - went completely dead. You will read other reviews where others had the EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN. $180 up in smoke! When I read the fine print I saw they said you can only have this turned on 8 HOURS A DAY! That is ridiculous and this is the only frame I have seen on the market with such a stipulation. I will bet that those giving this a good review are back in a few weeks raising h*ll because their frame stopped working and they are screwed too. Do yourself a HUGE favor and buy a BRAND NAME frame. Wish I could have given this a Zero but Amazon starts at 1 star. Avoid Aluratek like the plague. I know I will from now on.

Most of the reviews I read for this Digital Photo Frame were good or better but I found it to be very difficult/impossible to set up and use. The instructions are a joke and the menu and function buttons are incredibly frustrating. I bought it as a gift but I'm going to return it... worse than useless!

I was quite disappointed with these frames. I bought three of them for family members for Christmas. I loaded them up with pictures and sent them off. I am a photographer and so I am quite familiar with photo quality. That was my main complaint with these frames. The photo quality was extremely poor and I know that the pictures that I was loading were crystal clear. I wasn't expecting perfection, but I thought it would be better than it was. The colors also were off also...too muted.

If I would have had time to return them, I would have. I was, however, under the gun to get these out in time for Christams. I would suggest checking out the frame that you are interested in at a local retailer to see the picture quality. If you are happy with it, then go ahead and order it on-line if it's a better deal. I would not buy something like this again without seeing it in person first.

I purchased this in March 2008 and by June 2008 the digital image became permanently dimmed with a slight blinking. I contacted Aluratek by email and they never responded. No wonder it comes with a 3 month warranty, don't expect it to last any longer than this. I am highly disappointed and will never purchase an Aluratek product again.
