DVGA resolution

user: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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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.)
