The LCD Screen: You can use any LCD screen. You can use an old laptop screen, a digital screen or buy a used or new screen. You can get LCD screens of different sizes online for couple of dollars.

Whatever way you go, make sure the screen is working, and make sure the LCD screen has the video input intact.

How to set it up: Connect the ScanDisk to the screen. Use a video cable to hook the Scandisk viewer to the input video of the digital screen. Then mount the screen on the frame. Be careful, digital screens break and crack if they are mishandled. Turn on the scandisk and the screen. Copy the images to the memory card of choice. Slip the memory card into the scandisk slot and sit back and enjoy your new digital frame.
