| Q3: What image size (JPEG) is good for Monet LCD Photo Frame? Ans: Since Monet LCD Photo Frame screen is 4:3 ratio. Any picture with 4:3 ration should be compatible with Monet LCD Photo Frame. However, we suggest following image sizes: 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 or 1600x1200. Please don't use image size more than 1600x1200.
