XGA is "decent"? That's now just the lowest budget resolution you can get in anything. I think it looks grainy at anything closer to arm's length, not something I want on my own desk.
I think XGA (1024x768) is a good resolution for a 15" photo frame. Remember 15" desktop monitors back in the day (!) used to run at SVGA or XGA. Many 14"-15" laptops today still use XGA, and I don't think they really look "grainy" (though I myself would opt for a higher res on a laptop)...
Gear Digest (re Tom's Hardware) reviewed five 7" photo frames a few days ago, and most of them run at 480x234 resolution (the $200 most expensive one runs at 720x480).
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
