Aluratek ADMPF311F Hi-Res Digital Photo Frame - ADMPF311F
Aluratek 11" Hi-Res Digital Photo Frame with 1GB SD Card Included

I purchased this. It did not work. I have not been able to obtain an RMA or replacement. I will probably never purchase anything from buy.com or ritz.com or aluratek ever again. billcriss at sbcglobal net

The frame worked fairly well out of the box and I had little trouble loading. The second day I noticed it seemed a little dim and adjusted the brightness. After 2 weeks of this the pictures were no longer visible. The frame was still working but had zero brightness. I emailed the factory and got a fairly quick response. After a couple of exchanges they sent a new power supply brick. It has been running 24-7 for the past 10 months. The original supply was marginal in capacity but they quickly corrected.

I bought this frame a few months ago, and was very pleased with it right out of the box. There were a few features it didn't have which would have been nice, but overall, it's a very good product. I had a problem with the unit after a couple months (the back light flickered and went dim). I emailed support and the told me it was probably a bad power supply and they sent me a new one right out. Received it a few days later and it fixed the issue. I would have no issue recommending this product.

This frame is an excellent purchase. I love it and have had so much fun with it. My friends say they can't keep their eyes off of it when I have it on. Plus the wood work of the frame is very well done. All my furniture is oak and it fits in perfectly.

The frame looks nice, it was super easy to upload pictures to. Its a gift so I have not added music or videos. I was expecting more out of the picture quality. Not all pictures but most seem very grainy and the color is way off. I have even tried to rectify with the tint and coloring modes to no avail...still wierd. I got this for a great deal regularly 200 dollars and got it for 150 with rebates and a sale, I think thats a lot to pay for the quality of the product. Am I happy with it, enough not to hassle with a return, but not enough to recommend it to a friend.

ordered the frame and it was delivered to my home on third day. here are my initial impression, frame: widescreen format so regular pictures leave vertical bands on both sides. it has a very imbalance black markings on top and bottom, which is not a big problem when you get accustomed to the frame but at initial look. it made me think what was the designer thinking. the on/off feature is nice and functional Screen: it appears to be a widescreen style. all my pictures showed vertical bands on both the sides. good resolution for all the images observed even for max zoom. a regular screen should have been a great idea instead of widescreen. Pictures: because of the widescreen style the pictures needs to be reformated to fit the entire screen. pressing the enter button on the back zooms the images without loss of resolution. all my images from a 8mp camera looked great. some of my images from the camcorder (1MP) also looked very good. Video: played video as well to test the capability of the frame. all the home video look good. the frame mentions only avi, mpeg video, however I was able to play MOV files as well withouth any hitch. next I played avi movies, the picture was okay little pixelation was observed, i do not know the reason so will not go in details. overal i played 3 episodes of friend and it was good viewing. Sound: single speaker, tinny. but again the frame is not made for music so it can be forgiven, but atleast a stereo sound should have been provided. expansion slot: the included 1GB sd card worked, but it recognized a 4GB micro sdhc card as well. USB drive: upto 4Gb working. computer connection not tried. Powersupply: the included powersupply cord is small. a bigger cord would have been nice.

After the initial set up, which went fairly easy, the screen functioned as expected for a couple of months. Then pictures started to appear randomly with greyed out areas or scrambled. Cant seem to find any consistency to the problem, ie: the same pictures possibly due to corrupt files. Will see how they stand behind their warranty!

this is the first time for me to use buy.com and to purchase a digital picture frame. the remote is hard to use since you have to have it like 3 in at max from the sensor, but overall the quality is nice and it will be enjoyed.

Very good value for money. Clear, sharp picture quality.

It did not work when I first received it. I had to turn it on and shut it off over 50 times before it started working. It would display about 5-6 pictures and then quit working. I could not get the Options Menu to work. Finally, I got into the Options Menu and modified some settings and the picture frame started working. The frame is now working okay; however, the resolution does not appear to be "hi-resolution". Incidentally, the Ease of Use is good after it once started working. I would rate this an average product. I hope this information is helpful.

Bought it, Received it, Used it, LOVE IT. The picture quality is great. Very easy to use and the photos automatically load once you insert your memory card. Background music is decent during slideshow play. Real wood frame is a nice touch. Looks great in our library at home. I like the auto on/off timer feature and built in calendar funtion. Highly recommend

Notice in all the tech specs, they do not state resolution. Why not? I would expect better from Buy.com. Sad. Had to look elsewhere and find this item is 800x480, which is a poor resolution. I would expect 1024x768 minimal to be stating high resolution.

Had to return another brand because it was so difficult to setup and use. This was terrific! Easy and beautiful. Great buy from buy.com too. I highly recommend this product and this seller. Keep up the great work, Aluratex and Buy.com.

Great frame. Nice sound quality. We bought this for my wifes parents 40th wedding anniversary. I had a problem with the 1g SD chip. When I looked at the pictures I had down loaded, some would be distorted. I called Aluratek, and after some trouble shooting determined that the SD chip was corrupt. So they are sending me a new one. I use a chip from my digital camera and the pictures look great. The only thing I don't like is that you cannot randomize the picture viewing.

It was a little pricey, but it was a Christmas present for my wife, so what the heck. Speaking of Christmas, I ordered this frame on 12/1/07 and it did not arrive until well after New Years. So, I'm not real impressed with their shipping. Also, I was a little surprised that the pictures downloaded do not fill the screen. Guess I have more reading up to do.

The frame I received won't read the SD card. I finally got to view some pictures on it by using a USB drive. The pictures looked very good - big and bright. I really want to like this picture frame & use it. But it just doesn't work right. I have tried Alluratek's tech support and it is downright horrible. I got a very quick initial response from them, but the solutions they gave me were worthless! They then promised a replacement, but that's been over a week ago and now I get no response from them at all. So hopefully, Buy.com can help get this resolved & I can update this review. If the frame worked right, I would give it very good marks. However, beware that you will not get any support from Alluratek which leaves me uncomfortable with buying more of their products in the future.

Frame is beautiful, full featured, and holds more pics than you can shake a stick at. Buy.com had it to my house in 3 days from order. Great service - great product - great price.

The frame arrived ahead of when I expected it. Set up was easy. I haven't checked out everything about the frame, but the remote was easy to use. I recommend this frame for people who want a great picture and ease of operation.
