I bought this unit as a replacement "upgrade" for the 5.6" one I first bought which was cheap but not very cheerful on the eyes.
Yes - you cant get rid of the picture of the baby that comes with the unit but worse still was that it started having problems after only a very short time.
This new unit worked great ... nice display with crisp and clear pictures.. but only for a few hours after which the "auto-fit" function stopped working and it put nasty rainbow coloured borders around the pictures instead of fitting pictures to suit the position of the frame (landscape/portrait). Even worse, ALL the portrait orientation pictures were distorted and looked extremely pixelated. Even if I created pictures 800 x 600 it still gave problems.....
What a waste of my weekend.... It always seems the same these days. When a new technical thing comes out there are always bugs... then down the road they fix them with a "firmware upgrade". But why do the users have to suffer for this "beta testing" which

I purchased this frame because I wanted 800x600 resolution, and the manufacturer's claim that it plugged and played with Windows Vista. The following is my experience with the product.
I installed a SD card, powered it on, and plugged it into the PC with the supplied USB cable. The frame showed up as a two drives under Vista, which I'm assuming is because it has two types of memory slots. I copied a couple of test images over and unplugged it. I had a bit of trouble with the menu navigation of the product, it seemed slow and unresponsive, and a bit unintuitive to me. However, once I had the slideshow going the picture quality seemed nice enough.
Unfortunately then the trouble started. I attempted to delete the Manufacturer's test images, and that failed. While the baby is cute, it is no relation to me and I would not want to see it mixed in with my pictures. But that's not the worst part.
I plugged it back into the PC to copy more images, and this time it wasn't recognized, and
