Photo frames

Chris's frame

Photos

Frame is 480×234 as reported in the manual. It is a 16:9 display…but the ratio is not 1:1.77777 It is really 1:1.7647 That's a small number that makes a huge difference when viewing the photos.

Using photoshop, crop width to 6 inches, height to 3.4 inches and resolution to 100 pixels/inch. This will generate a file that is 600×340 and fits the frame pretty well. Size is about 40kB to 60 kB.
