DVGA resolution
edituser:Crissov was revertied by anonymous who confisude double and quad, DVGA is 960x640 and not 1280x960 as the anonymouse claim.
Since HVGA (half VGA) is 480x320 , half on one dimension only 480x(640/2) and not (480/2)x(640/2) as this will 1/2*1/2=quarter aka QVGA of 320*240
same apply for double VGA, double should not be (480*2)x(640*2) this would 2*2=4 quad, double mean one dimension which is equivalent to (480*2)x640 = 960x640 aka DVGA —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zayani (talk • contribs) 18:01, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
- No one, not even Apple now that the device is announced, uses this term. Therefore the arguments of this AfD still apply and the decision is still in force. HereToHelp (talk to me) 19:46, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
- Probably more people are using the 4 letters to stand for 960 px × 640 px than for Digital Variable Gain Amplifier. It is used in list of common resolutions, but I didn’t check since when. I didn’t know about the AfD, by the way, and I don’t think the resolution should get a full-fledged article.
- How does making this page a disambiguation article hurt anyone, though? On the contrary, it may spare someone from using the text search, since DVGA told him all he needed. — Christoph Päper 20:17, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
- Part of my reaction may have been that we just got rid of an article that was totally useless, and I may have overlooked the benefit of a one-line disambig. There's been a minor edit war between anons at list of common resolutions; it was re-added a mere 6 hours ago. Tell you what: find me one - just one - reliable source that associates the iPhone 4, 960x640, and the term "DVGA". The closest I can find is a blog post made before the announcement (and hence of dubious reliability) that refers to "double-resolution". (I am starting to have second thoughts, granted that no one wants more than a passing reference, so I'll unprotect the page, but I strongly encourage you to find that reliable source first.)
