It really makes a HUGE difference in pic quality. The difference in PQ at 800x600 vs 480x234 is staggering. Go to bed bath and beyond to see samples.

I got a Nextar 3.5 digital photo frame that I was going to give to my uncle to put on his desk. It has a resolution of 320x240. I thought that would be enough for such a small frame and it is not. The pictures look like garbage. I can't give him this in good conscious. Get one with a good resolution and I would highly recommend looking at it in a store before buying so you aren't disappointed.
