Side by Side Comparison of: Sungale vs Aluratek

We got this frame for our father. We loaded a bunch of pictures on a usb drive, plugged it in & it started to play them. He likes the frame mode best, so we havent used the clock/calendar mode much. The frame is small, but very light weight. He shows it to all his guest and family members add pics onto the usb drive, so he has plenty to look at.

Bought three of these for Christmas for our sons and culled thousands of photos to make individualized sticks for each family. This was a most appreciated gift, and my sons tell me they run well, and that they've had lots of fun rediscovering their lives for the past 15 years or so.

this is a very nice , simple to use picture viewer. It met my expectations, and works fast . I am using it to check my trail cam pictures on my sd cards
I plug it in, insert the card and in about 5 seconds it will start showing me my pictures. Also has a nice calender on it with just enough options as to keep it simple to use. It also accepts usb jump drives. I'm very happy with it. I was unsure if this model comes with a remote or not. It does not.

It seems to be an excellent quality frame and it can be turned on and off with a remote. Very pleased

After reading reviews of several 10" digital photo frames, I was concerned that none of them were any good. I took a chance and purchased the PF1025 in spite of some negative reviews indicating problems with some of the features such as transitioning, clarity and auto on-off. I have left it on 24/7 since my purchase in mid-December and it has worked flawlessly. The pictures appear to have good resolution clear across an 11' living room and it continues to transition as designed. I do have it connected into a surge protector with other electronics to help eliminate power issues as a source of problem. Unless something blows up down the road, I see no issues with this frame and would recommend it to anyone looking for a 10" frame with decent resolution.

It's bigger than I thought it would be. It's really a nice frame to showcase any kind of pictures anywhere in your home or office. It works really well. It does everything the Internet said it would do. Even though it is plastic it is built with a very thick shiny plastic that is not noticeable until you pick it up. Still at that it is a well made frame at a reasonable amount of money. I was shocked to see how well this little baby worked. If your looking to buy this I hope I have helped you in helping you make up your mind. I have nothing bad to say about it at all.

Works great. No problems loading the pictures. The pictures come out quite crisp and clear.The videos do have to be of a certain format (see other reviews for that info). But I didn't have any problem with that. I used a free video format converter on my Windows machine (it's called "Freemake Video Converter").A $150 unit would probably look better but the pictures and videos are just fine for me and the person I bought this for, (and I would think most people).

I have 2 Aluratek ADMPF108F 8 inch HI Res Digital Photo Frame with 12 MB Built in. I gave them as gifts. I bought a USB drive to add the the total pictures you can put on it. The first one was for a trip to the Bahama's as a thank you gift and put all our pictures on it. What a treat to go over the my son and daughter in law's house and see the reminders of a wonderful trip. The second one was for my mom for Mothers day. Again I bought a USB drive gave it to my sister in law, my daughter, my son, and my self and loaded it with all our families pictures. Now she has an "almost living" reminder her family that loves her. I will be buying 2 more in the near future. I did my research and found for the money this one is the best value for all that it offers.

I purchased this along with the 7-inch one for gifts, both are fast, as soon as you plug in the SD card images start showing up. It has some advantages over the 7-inch one: resolution is bigger so images look better, it comes with a remote control which might be cool in some occasions but haven't used it yet, it can play background music, and it has the built-in memory so you can move your pictures to the internal memory and use your SD for something else (like take more pictures). I think this product is totally worth the price and I will recommend this one over the 7-inch version.

This has to be the best deal I have received in a while. Great color on the very bright display and it comes with a remote. I wanted this to put some pictures on and some graphics to use as a changing sign on my front counter of my business. I read some mixed reviews on this product but I haven't had but one complaint and that was the instructions were a little vague. When connecting to the computer for the first time you need to change the USB mode in the menu or your computer will not recognize the internal usb memory. After I figured that out it was great. Pictures sized to be 800x600 fit perfect. Although, if the picture isn't the right size it will resize them for the best display possible. I think I may order some more for the house too. I love this product and would recommend to a friend.

I got this as a birthday gift for my Mom. She absolutely loves having the frame in her study. I put just about every picture I had ever taken on the SD memory card (not included) and she has not seen the same picture twice. The resolution of this digital photo frame is very good. That was why I bought this one over other ones. Some were bigger for the same money, but the resolution was lower. With these frames, you should buy higher resolution over bigger screen. No one wants to look at a 12" screen using 320x240 resolution or whatever. The picture looks awful on the lower resolution screens.If you get this frame, I can tell you that you will not be disappointed in the image quality. Fit and finish was good as well. It feels like a quality item, not just cheap plastic.

I purchased a couple of these frames for the Grandparents quite some time ago. I went to upgrade the pictures via SD cards and figured they could just change out the SD cards with new pictures, but many of the pictures would not display or were displayed sideways. I couldn't figure out what was wrong because they displayed fine on my computer. I decided to purchase another frame for me to see if I got the same results. I did. After pulling my hair out trying to figure out what was wrong, I got hold of Sungale Customer Service (via email, telephone was a no-go). A customer Service representative (Brendan) got back to me within one day, and after a couple exchanges, he was able to figure out the problems and offered solutions. Although I still don't understand why the frame didn't display properly, I basically just had to go into each photo that wouldn't display properly in my Windows Photo editor and use the auto correction option. Sort of a pain, but worth it. Display is great for the price.

The frame is "photo size", as described. One regret is that it's not easy to add or delete photos, you must do it from the disk or drive that you are using and edit on PC or etc.. No editing is available within the frame itself. Second- The only way to stop photos from scrolling, for example,.at night is to unplug the product. Then when you plug it back in you must rest all the functions including date and time. Still acceptable for the price, and for the project I needed.

Very basic and easy to use. I purchased a usb flash drive and dumped a bunch of photos onto it. I plugged the adapter in and plug the flash drive in and that was it. I then packed it up and sent it to my mother as a gift. All she had to do was take it out of the box and plug it in. Zero effort. Definitely worth it for the price.

I bought this a week or so ago to give to my mom for Christmas. She's not all that great with electronics, so the simplicity is a plus, but I also took it out of the box and tried it to make sure she'd be able to use it. There are buttons on the back that allow you to change things like the transitions and speed, as well as the brightness (I think some people said the images looked washed out, but you can adjust the display settings). Other than that, you just need to put a bunch of photos on an SD card or flash drive. There are options for making it fill the screen (so there aren't black bars on the sides or top/bottom due to the frame and the photos having different height/width ratios).

You do need to buy your own SD card (or flash drive), but those have come down in price lately so it's not a big deal. I'm sure my mom will like this, she's always said these frames were pretty neat, but a lot of them were also pretty expensive. I loaded an SD card with all of her vacation photos. Could make a nice gift idea when you aren't sure what to buy for someone.

Thank you for the fast delivery. I enjoy it, though I didn't think 10 inch frame would actually be quite small tbh.. but that's not your fault though, it's my misjudgment. Nevertheless, I enjoy looking at the pictures of my family while at work. Thank you!

These are one of the best on the market for this price point. Just be very wary, they do have bad pixels and are fragile. We received one with a bad pixel, returned it and the second had a screen that was slid out of place and broken from shipping but that replacement was perfect. Has the best screen quality and great options.

Nice basic digital frame, I got a micro sd with an SD attachment so that we can add pictures at any time. I did not realize that it did not have a rechargeable battery but that is completely my fault for not researching enough. It is nice quality I just wish that you could set it to randomly display the pictures, I put about a thousand photos on it for my wife to have on her desk at work but every morning when she turns it on it starts back at the beginning.

Ok, so I flipped. Turns out, whatever code or data attached to photos downloaded from web albums causes an issue in which a red question mark appears instead of the photo. Went to the web site, and there's a tip that solves this: on a PC, open the wonky photos in Microsoft Paint and "save as" a JPEG. You may have already saved it as a JPEG when you first loaded the photo to the folder, but do it again through this program and you're gucci.Only downside at this point is that you can't randomize the photos.PREVIOUS REVIEW: Pretty simple interface, but it doesn't read all of the photos. I downloaded some straight from my PC to the internal hard drive and half of the photos had a red "?" So, I loaded the photos onto a SD card and plugged that in. Strangley enough, many of the photos had red "?" and didn't show up, though the file name showed up. However, there were different photos that didn't show up when using the memory card. The web site says all of the photos have to be sized similarly (they're all relatively small files), so this doesn't make sense.Also, if you leave the thing idle for a minute, it automatically starts playing any videos you have saved on there.What a waste of money.

I bought this Aluratek ADMPF108F photo frame for use at work. This is the second photo frame I have owned so my review will compare it to my previous one. When researching photo frames I wanted to find one with the following features:* 4:3 aspect ratio to match the format of a typical digital camera* An auto power on/power off function* Medium size (8" or larger)* Reasonable costPros:1) The 4:3 aspect ratio was important to me. My previous frame had a wide-screen format. Unless you cropped your photos first, my old frame would stretch them to fit. This was unacceptable. This Aluratek frame fits your typical photo size perfectly. No pre-scaling is necessary.2) I like the auto power on and power off function of the Aluratek frame. I don't want this frame showing photos at night. Using its configuration I have it auto power on in the morning and have it auto shut off around 5:00PM. I have heard of some frames with this feature that only power on into a menu mode which kind of misses the whole point of auto powering on. This frame powers up right into picture display mode.3) The resolution of this frame is adequate. The display is clean and sharp.Cons:1) I like the ability of a frame to randomly cycle through my images. Most frames have a default cycle time of around 5-10 seconds which I find too distracting in a work environment. My preference would be for the frame to switch photos every one or even five minutes. Unfortunately, the cycle time settings of this frame only go up to 15 seconds which is still way too quick for my liking. I'm removing one star for this.

This product was chosen to display videos and slide shows at festivals. For that purpose it works very well. it is easy to set up and large enough to attract attention without taking up too much space on the table. It also fits nicely on a shelf at home for slide shows of family photos.Most other photo frames in the same price range will not play videos or only play strange formats. I recently tried another brand that I could not get to play videos although it was advertised as doing so. I also had an older photo frame that worked fine until being broken. This was a replacement.

The quality of the photos was nice, but the directions are sadly lacking- if you are not familiar with your computer and digital photos, it might be a challenge. I had a struggle after uploading tif files to the unit, because no where in the directions could I find any indication that I couldn't! But, after about 2 days of adding and removing files, I got it to do what I wanted, and then was happy. Did not upload any music files, so can not comment on that function.

I bought this for my mom as a Christmas gift and although she loves it you definitely get what you pay for. There are only a couple of buttons to control this digital photo frame, no remote.It does plug in ( I would say the cord is a decent length) there is not a button to turn this device on and off you simply unplug it or plug it in. In order to use this digital photo frame you have to have either an SD card or flash drive. I could never find out how many Pictures this fame holds, I guess it just depends on how much space is on your flash drive or SD card. overall it is nice to have and came in handy for my brothers graduation party.

This is a "you get what you pay for" sort of item. I bought it to display photos of my baby at my desk at work and, for that purpose, it's fine. I wouldn't use it in my home or for anything I wanted to be displayed at a high quality. The color and the resolution are not great. I know earlier posters have said that it's the quality of the color/resolution of your original photos that needs to be fixed but my photos are great and they print out really nicely. The color in the frame is sort of washed out and yet very dark -- there are options to fiddle with brightness, backlighting, contrast, and saturation but so far they haven't resulted in much better display. All that said, it's perfect for a desk -- small, light, super easy to use and it comes with an AC adapter so no need to deal with batteries. I got the teeny Sandisk thumb drive that's suggested to go with it and it works great with that. For the price, I'm happy.

This is my first digital frame. It came with poor instructions, thankfully I'm fairly smart. Someone not tech savvy may have some issues. Picture quality could be better, I'm not impressed. It was cheap, you get what you pay for. This was just for my desk at work, so it's ok. It has a timer so I have it set to automatically come on and turn off... however it plays the stock photos not my photos, so I still have to mess it and set it to my photos every morning when I get to my desk. I will be looking for a better one, then I'll white elephant this one next Christmas.

It's an ok frame. It wants to start off showing the pics loaded to it's internal storage first, so if you use a usb flash drive, you'll have to tell it every time to play those photos (didn't see where you can change the default, and I looked)

Menu seems unresponsive at times as does the remote.

Once you get the pics loaded, the quality is pretty good, just don't expect much in terms of the butons or the remote.

I really like the size and looks pf this digital frame. I am giving it a 3 star because of some scratches I later found.

I was skeptical when I took the frame out of the packaging - it didn't come with a plastic film that covers the screen that you're supposed to peel off. But I thought that that is how it's supposed to be. I tested it while I was at work and it works. I brought it home to load more pictures for my sister since this is a moving away gift for her - I then noticed that there are two thin scratches on the screen. It is not noticeable unless you turn the frame side ways or flat. The scratches seem to be underneath the actual screen so you can't feel or touch it.

I am not sending it back because I am giving this to my sister and she's leaving in less than 2 days. I just hope that she doesn't notice the scratches.

It is a good product and a large size frame but I bought two and returned one because it does not play the promised video formats. Most MP4 or MPEG video formats which play in most other players like Windows Media Players, VLC, Realplayer, and Movies and TV Windows Store App, and SAMSUNG TV Media Player do not play well and either result in Screen Lock-Ups or Unsupporte File Format Errors. Pay more for smaller but other high quality frame with high quality video playing software like EMOKILI!!!

Decent product, but not very user friendly to set up and I don't think it is very high quality. The first one I got was broken and it took me forever to get in touch with support or to look up issues online. Finally they sent me a new charger and it worked, but it was a huge pain! Also, a lot of the photos from my iPhone import upside down so I had to manually adjust a lot of them. It's a pain, but once you get it set up and working, it is a pretty good digital frame for the money.

Just a digital picture frame. These things are good to have around at parties, funerals, etc. where you don't want to put your laptop out on display. I think I bought this for mother's day and loaded it with pictures of our son and family since he was like 6 months old at the time.

It's a good dig picture frame, but won't turn on everyday likes it suppose to during the date and time set. Not sure why. No big deal since I just turn it on myself at the office. Colors on it are just ok, anytime k try to adjust, I make it worse. I'm sure it can be made to be better, but I don't have the time or patience to figure it out.

This digital picture frame does what it is supposed to do, but it is a bit difficult to use. Loading pictures to the internal memory is easy enough, but many of the photos are sideways or upside-down which can be frustrating because it is difficult to fix, and nearly impossible to do on the camera. I ended up taking the advice of another reviewer and made a PowerPoint photo album, and then exported that photo album and loaded it to the camera. The picture quality is great, and the camera is a decent price as long as you are willing to go through the work of loading it.

Picture quality is very good and it is easy to load the internal memory with hundreds of jpeg photos. Unfortunately there is no random viewing program, so all photos must be viewed in the order they appear in a file. Also, if you want the program to restart where you left when you turned the frame off, you must hit the menu button on back of the frame to bring up the thumbnail view. Then you turn it off. If you do this, it will restart on the last image viewed rather than start where you originally started first. If you do not take this step you are likely to view the same photos over and over, if you turn it off often.

This digital photo frame is nothing to write home about, but for the price it does what it's supposed to. Or should I say did. I purchased this item on 11/9/15 for my desk at work. I have the timer set to turn on at 8:30 am and turn off at 5pm which I thought was a great feature. However, as I am writing this on 11/21, the screen no longer turns on. Conveniently just as the 1-year warranty is up. It started acting up a few months ago, when I'd come into work some mornings and see the menu screen instead of the slideshow of photos. Now the screen is completely blank though my flash drive is lighting up so I know the unit has power. Unless you want to be replacing this item in a year, I'd go with something different.

The box says it comes with a remote, but I did not receive one. Outside of that, it is very easy to use (big plus for me) and the pictures look good. You can use the buttons on the back or just plug/unplug it from the wall (easiest way) without the remote. I like the size of the pictures and frame. Now, I need to add maybe the buttons on the back not working should have been my sign about this photo frame. It stopped working on me. I bought a new adapter and that did not work. They sent me another one and it did not work so I returned both adapters. That just told me the frame was the problem. Any product should last more than 10-11 months.

In the world of digital photo frames, even years (decades?) after their commercial introduction, they still evade Moore's Law and remain pricey items–except for the Sungale PF709 which is reasonable sized & priced. Note that I wanted to really dig this frame, and almost do. The setup is quite easy (although if you're using a USB drive it has to be one of the super-micro "stubby" variety because of how the fixed base/computer module on the back is configured), and the controls are quite easy.

Now for some of the cons: this frame shows it's legacy as a re-purposed LCD monitor of some sort in that when viewed from the left, the image almost completely disappears. To get a decent or normal view, one must literally be to the right of the frame. I found myself constantly angling the frame slightly depending on where I was sitting, etc. to get the best view. Also, there is no remote included. The included instruction sheet mentions a remote briefly, however, this looks to be a typo. While I understand that the frame is quite budget priced, even RGB LCD strip lights include a small IR remote and they are half the price.

**Important!** READ THIS! There IS a timer function in the frame that will turn it on and off automatically each day at programmed times, and I highly recommend using this feature. Mine was left on continuously (as I hadn't yet scrolled down to this feature in the menu system), and after a few months of use, the frame now just starts blinking erratically instead of showing photos; essentially my frame is now a low-power 7" digital paperweight. Also, I suspect that SD cards are probably less taxing and more predictable than USB drives (and fit better in the frame), so that should be your go-to memory storage device with this product.

While the frame will randomly choose between transitions (wipe, checkerboard, etc.) it will *not* randomly shuffle the photo order, which could be a deal breaker if one minds seeing their photos in the exact same sequence each time around. In my situation, this was okay; your milage may vary.

Also, there is no sound, and no video or animated GIF capabilities (though some nearly identical looking frames have these features). WiFi or other networking options are not available with this model.

Not a huge deal, but the longest this frame will hold on a picture is 15 minutes. So if this frame is in constant view, be prepared to get familiar with all of the photos on it (unless of course you have a TON of photos loaded up). Ideally, it would be great if there were a 1hr or 5hr option, etc.

Finally, the display is a little ... grainy, and the color reproduction leaves a bit to be desired. Changing the contrast and brightness settings within the menus actually gave the photos a posterized look, so if true-to-life reproduction of your images is important, this may not be the ideal frame. For my purposes (a small frame to sit on a desk that I'd only be glancing at occasionally), this was okay.

As I mentioned, mine failed after the warranty expired, which became an issue. So, if you don't live in a chilly environment, or don't plan on using the timer feature, this may not be the ideal frame for you. I personally was forced to upgrade to the NIX 8" frame with remote.

The major issue I have with this digital photo frame is that it does not read the image attributes for orientation. This means that if you have a lot of photos taken in portrait mode, even though they look okay in windows, you will have to screen capture them and resave them to make them work with this frame.

It may have been my mistake for ordering but .... the size is simply too small to see well at any distance. Also, I found that there is a small angle in which it allows clear viewing of the photos. In addition, the frame does not rotate my photos taken in 'portrait' in order to view them correctly. What is odd is that I've even taken the time to rotate the photos and save them and still many of them are not rotated properly when viewed on the frame.

I thought this was a good deal but am disappointing at the functionality. It doesn't have functions to rotate your picture within the display permanently which is essential and dissapointing to lack.

Did not like this. Cheap plastic. Could not get my USB drive to work. I formatted it as FAT32 and it still did not work. Tech guy on support line said it was because it was formatted on a Mac which I don't buy because formatting it that way allows you to use USB drives between Mac and PCs perfectly. I do it all the time. I returned it.

Video images are stretched out vertically and the remote dn work.

Brought two as gifts but you get what you paid for. The power adapter gets "hot", not warm but hot. The unit would restart for no reason. The speakers are low end. Would not purchase this again.

The photo frame started acting out after 2-3 months of use.Photos that used to show just fine at the beginning now look distorted with pixellation and/or horizontal color bars.Some photos now do not show at all, instead a black screen shows.Photo transitions are poor and can be distorted or bug out.Over all, for the price paid, this frame is not worth it.It seems like

I was not happy with the quality at all with this one. It also did not work well at all. The one I had got would power on every so often. Nothing would happen when you plugged the power in and tried to turn it on. But when you unplugged the power you would hear it click off. This was the first day right out the box. Did not like this frame for the quality. Never had a chance to really check to functionality for any good amount of time.

Bought this frame in January (7 months ago). The last few weeks it's not usable anymore. It appears like it't trying to load the pictures, but the display just doesn't work anymore. Looks like the warranty is for only 90 days. Buyer beware.

I ordered this frame and the first one shipped to me didn't even work properly. I turned it on and within 5 minutes it got dangerously hot, so I had to return it and get a new one. The second one worked, but popped up with an icon showing it would move to the next picture in between every single picture in the slide show. And some of the pictures were inexplainably upside down or sideways, with no way to fix it. Then, after just a few months of sitting on my desk, it just stopped working. Won't turn on, sounds like it is about to explode when you plug it in. I am BEYOND disappointed in this product. And I hope no one else wastes their money on this hunk of junk.

do not buy!!!! I understand that the screen is not IPS so viewing angles is severly limited. But I'm surprised that the colors were so washed out too even if you are in a good angle (straight on). such a horrible screen!

Pros:
- none!

Cons:
- screen is TERRIBLE. Colors were all washed out. I have accepted the fact that resolution is low (800 x something) so a lot of details in the picture are gone. But for the colors to be washed out so bad is a different story even if you are supposedly on a good angle. My Chumby 8 has a better screen!
- long or big USB flash drives will stick out and tilt the screen a little. It's not bad, I just dont like it.
- your pictures won't automatically play when powered on, instead it plays the default pictures. This means that everytime you reboot the photoframe or if you set the automatic power off/on, it won't display your pictures. Instead, it will play the default pictures. This is by their design.

I purchased two of these based off the reviews and price and they are going back! First of all, the colors are terrible and make photos look very dull. There's a very strong backlighting that overbrightens the screen that at even a slight angle, makes you feel like you're viewing photos on a fluorescent x-ray viewer. You cannot adjust any of the settings either. On top of that, if you look at it dead on, the images are sometimes too dark. Also when I'm referring to viewing angles, I'm looking at it from +-10 degrees, which is incredibly poor for any lcd display.

14 inches can't even describe the outer frame! I bought this for my grandma with eyesight troubles. It had to be large enough for her to see it easily, but small enough to fit in a certain spot on her wall. This sounded perfect - on paper. The screen was super small and distorted everything. Yuck.

I bought 4 of these digital frames and 2 out of the 4 just stopped working one day. Nothing happened to them they just stopped working after a month of having it plugged in and setup. Of course, the 2 that stopped working out of the blue were gifts to my family members and its pretty embarrassing when my family has to ship a gift back to me from out of state. I can be pretty understanding with tech items, as nothing last forever, but to stop working for no reason after a month of using it is BAD NEWS BEARS. I purchase everything from Amazon and this is my first experience of an item(s) being insufficient after buying it. I now know not to buy this again and wouldn't recommend it to other buyers either. I will be going with a more well known Brand next time. Makes me more weary of buying other tech items from Amazon next time around. I'm also out the cost of both digital frames given I'm not able to return it or exchange it given its past 30 days. If the product isn't going to last or each frame made has a "hit or miss" lifespan than it should come with a 1-3 year warranty if it stops working. Exchange should be an option at least. I would consider this before you buy it. We loved the frames when they were working, too bad it was for just a few short months. DON'T BUY THIS ONE without warranty. SUPER DISAPPOINTED

I bought this product for my wife, and decided to pre-load it with pictures of our daughter. I'm quite proficient with electronics and as a photographer am familiar with both photo and video formats. That being said, I've had nothing but issues with this product.•On booting it often completely freezes up, sometimes on a black screen, sometimes on the first image in the internal memory.•I get an error when connecting it to my computer (win 7) and can not send images to it this way.•I cannot get any video files to play, even in the recommended formats.•The stand broke off on the first day.•I can put files in the internal memory and they will not play. If I, however, move them to a flash drive they will play.•There's no option to play the images randomly.

Do not get this frame! Very cheaply made. Amazon shipped it without any supportive packaging so naturally I get it with peices rattling around inside and a broken screen. Regardless the product is cheap and regret buying it in the first place.

I was excited when I selected this frame.. the specs were good, the reviews were good enough and I really loved it when it came. At first I bought two, one for my in-laws and one for my mom. After about a year, the one at my in-laws just stopped working and I decided to buy the same model because I liked the transitions, etc and thought that a fluctuation in electricity may have stopped it from working. HOWEVER, then my mother's own just stopped and the Power button on the new one stopped working within six months. Now, the pics stop and I have to pull out the power cord for it to reset. So sorry I bought three.... Looking for two replacement frames now but definitely would not be buying Aluratek.

This is the first review I`ve written on Amazon. I shop here all the time. I get at least a package every week from them. I had to warn people about this item. I bought it for myself, because the family (especially my grandson who has autism) love to look at the pictures on the other two frames I have. This one is junk. Very cheap looking and feeling. The remote is so cheap, and doesn`t work. The frame works for a while then freezes up. It will work again for a while then stops again. Too much trouble to send it back. I will buy another one of a better brand.

I purchased this frame as the Amazon Deal of the Day for use on a display table during my jewelry bars for Origami Owl. The first time I went to use it, I struggled to get it to recognize the SD card, but I ended up getting it to work. Decent picture. The second time, when I arrived at my 1st jewelry bar, I had to fit with it again - this time to get it to even turn on...but again I eventually got it to work. The 3rd time, what at another jewelry bar, I fought and fought with it - trying different outlets, removing and reinserting the plug, removing and retrying the SD card - and it will no longer even turn on. So I am past the return period and left with a frame that never did really work. I won't be purchasing another Aluratek brand frame when now that I am looking for a new one!
