I have a 'widescreen' Digital Picture Frame. My wife bought it for me
for Christmas. I would NOT have bought a widescreen as I know of no
cameras that produce pictures with 16:9 aspect ratio. There is a switch
to change to display 4:3, which is better, but the setting is not
retained (the ONLY one that isn't) after power cycle. sigh.
Go for the 4:3, or (if you can find one) 3:2. WHY doesn't someone just
design a frame that manages to display a normal 1200x800 picture at 6x4
aspect ratio? Don't these guys even LOOK at the picture sizes that are
'normal' for photography?
Now, to your issue. Why are you worried about a singly pixel problem?
Most of the time the viewer will be several feet from the picture frame,
and a single dead pixel will be quite unnoticeable.
