Last week, I downloaded 180 JPEG pictures from my Presario 700 laptop to a 64 megabyte SD card that were formatted for the ZVUE! 2.5” TFT color screen. Although the hand held player does a good job resizing any digital image to fit its 240X160 pixel display, I wanted to conserve the SD real estate so that there would be room for several videos and MP3 tunes.

Compared to the “landscape” pixs the “portrait” images appeared small. They also had empty space on their right and left margin.

The “portrait” images were rotated on the PC, 90 degrees to the right, making them “landscape” pixs. The pocket sized ZVUE! unit can easily be rotated 90 degrees in order to see “portrait” images upright. It is better to turn the unit than to give up the display space.

USER TIP #1: Turn the screen not the pictures. Make images “landscape” pixs to take advantage of the entire color screen.
