Product return request done long time, but mony not recived

I love this frame so much I’ve bought 3 so far! The quality is excellent and the size is great for really showing off your pictures. It’s easy to operate and the clarity and colour of pictures is amazing! Aluratek makes a high quality frame with outstanding resolution. Highly recommended for anyone wanting the best digital frame on the market.

The Aluratek 15 inch features a large screen with vibrant colors, made with solid materials and a remote control to move your favourite pictures about easily. It is one of my new favourites in the frame line.Great screen size.Love these frames!

At first we planned to use ours for inspirational quotes and pictures in a slideshow on the wall in the office. But when we discovered some of the other things this frame can do, we plan to use it for looping videos on our table display in home stores.FILE FORMATS (the formats I've tried so far)Pictures: supports .jpg .png -- does not support .tifAudio: supports .mp3VIDEO: from the knowledgebase online, "supports AVI video files using the DivX codec and non-DRM-restricted DivX video files" they recommend downloading the free 'Freemake Video Converter' software to convert your videos to .AVI with the XVID codec. This converter is very easy to use and works (and hey, some converted .avi files end up being smaller than the original files, which never hurts). (Before finding this info I had found that it fully supported .AVI .mpg and .mpeg -- it didn't fully support .wmv .mp4 .mov .vob -- By fully support I mean, I used the USB cable to transfer the files from my pc to the frame's memory just fine. But when you open up the directory on the frame, some files would not appear on the list, some would appear on the list but when played would only show a few seconds of black screen. While the fully supported ones transferred, show on the list, and play normally. Also, I did have one or two .avi files that weren't fully supported, so I would stick to the DivX codec standard for determining if your videos will play.) The link for the helpdesk article and converter link--[...]Powering On and OffIt turns out that the frame has a flip power switch on the back, which can be set to On when you use the remote to turn it off. Set up like this (plugged in to AC power of course) using the calendar/time settings, you can schedule it to turn on and off for one set of times 'Disable, Once, Everyday, Weekdays, or Weekends'. (But you only get one option, ie it won't let you set one pair of times for weekdays and a different pair for weekends.) We thought this was a great feature, since before we were using a dvd player on our table in a store that shuts the power to the building off at night, which required us to visit the store and manually turn it on again every morning.QualityIt is true that our screen has some dark flecks of dirt (all under 2mm big) within the screen, in the middle of the viewing area. But at farther viewing distances you can't see it. As for the screen resolution, coming from someone who uses a 1280 x 1024 pc monitor, up close it's choppy looking. But it is the advertised 1024 x 768 and is fine at farther viewing distances.

Got this for my 101-year-old aunt so she can look at family pictures in her room without having to have a stack of large photo albums and scrapbooks. I put a thousand or so scanned pix on a flash drive into this, and turned it on - that part seems to work well. Several adjustments are available. The only problem so far is that when one has viewed several pictures, then turns the thing off, when turned back on it starts over the list of pix from the beginning - Aunt would very much like it to resume where she left off, but i can't figure out how to do that if it is even possible. (She doesn't like leaving it on all the time, as the changing pix disturb her sleep.)

One PRO: big screen, easy to see photos from distance (when works).Many CONS: It would not recognize SD card that I purchased separately on Amazon for 256GB. It would only recognize my very old SD card for 32M - it could only fit 3-4 pictures. Same for USB, any newer versions for USB memory stick, it didn't recognize. Luckily, I had an old stick with 16GB on it and was able to fit about 2500 pictures. Still, I needed to resize these pictures to a lower quality for the frame to not freeze. Bought this as a present for grandparents, thinking it was plug-n-play. However, it requires some technology knowledge to navigate. Not sure if they will be able to enjoy the photos. So far, it freezes, displays same 10 photos (out of 2500) and not user-friendly. Would not recommend.
