Questions about VGA

[Stevoo187]

Hey guys,

I was reading a recent post and the term VGA came up. Now i know VGA deals with graphics in games and such, but what makes VGA so desirable in a ppc? What can it be used for? Also, it would be interesting if anyone knew what was used in current ppc in place of VGA. Thx for your help :wink:

VGA means 640x480 (or 480x640) resolution. You can get 4 times as much information on a 480x640 screen as a standard Pocket PC (QVGA, or 240x320) screen... or you can view the same information at a much sharper resolution.

In other words... for QVGA 76800 pixels vs 307200 for VGA.... or as was mentioned 4 times as much information...

Take a look at www.gpspassion.com and you will see an article, with screenshots, showing how vga can be a real advantage in GPS applications. The extra information you can get on the screen is amazing.
