A 7" XGA display or a 7" VGA diplay? What is the difference between the two?



edit:
I also have to add a 7" VGA TFT diplay to this comparison.

 

got pics?

 

it's a general question....but I am currently looking at the ones on this page http://www.mp3car.com/store/index.php?cPath=25

 

XGA and VGA refer to the resoltion.

XGA is higher resolution.

 

yea, what he said. But if the XGA looks thick and uglier, I'd still get the VGA. Not that noticable different for such a small size screen.

 

why is the XGA cheaper then? (refer to the link I posted above)

 

poor quality design. It have better res, but other functions are lessen?

 

all the 7" screens from mp3car.com store have a native resolution of 800x480 (16:9 Aspect ratio). The 8" screen is 640x480. They can display higher resolutions by scaling down the image, but it doesn't look as good (important for things like reading street names on a map program)

Personally, I'm going to go with a larger screen with a higher native resolution (12.1" 1024x768) from Datalux. They're about the same price (see them on ebay for under $300) and have a touchscreen, but don't have the other stuff (RCA video inputs, built in speaker, remote) that i won't use anyways. also won't fit in the dash.
