Well my 13.1" laptop screen is 1280x800, so I am trying to imagine it being shrunk by 70% and what I come up with is the most ridiculously unusable screen ever.

You don't use your gadgets nonstop 24/7 for several years on end, do you? That's what it will take before it gets "bad" as you say. (It's not like the screen stops functioning then. Consider the component with the worst halflife, the blue bits of the OLED display, will still be blue - dull and not as bright)]]>Jun 1st 2009 11:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/samsungs-wvga-amoled-800x400-pixels-and-swine-flu-immune/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/samsungs-wvga-amoled-800x400-pixels-and-swine-flu-immune/Jun 1st 2009 11:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/samsungs-wvga-amoled-800x400-pixels-and-swine-flu-immune/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/samsungs-wvga-amoled-800x400-pixels-and-swine-flu-immune/Jun 1st 2009 6:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/samsungs-wvga-amoled-800x400-pixels-and-swine-flu-immune/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/samsungs-wvga-amoled-800x400-pixels-and-swine-flu-immune/Jun 1st 2009 6:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/samsungs-wvga-amoled-800x400-pixels-and-swine-flu-immune/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/samsungs-wvga-amoled-800x400-pixels-and-swine-flu-immune/Jun 1st 2009 6:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/samsungs-wvga-amoled-800x400-pixels-and-swine-flu-immune/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/samsungs-wvga-amoled-800x400-pixels-and-swine-flu-immune/Jun 1st 2009 6:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/samsungs-wvga-amoled-800x400-pixels-and-swine-flu-immune/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/samsungs-wvga-amoled-800x400-pixels-and-swine-flu-immune/Jun 1st 2009 7:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/samsungs-wvga-amoled-800x400-pixels-and-swine-flu-immune/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/samsungs-wvga-amoled-800x400-pixels-and-swine-flu-immune/

except that it is an AMOLED display it's not a new resolution.

I'm now getting my 3rd(!) handset from Sharp that features this resolution! Actualy the new 1810c!

854x480 pixel resolution and believe me: That's hard stuff for your eyes ;-)

Gosh, that was a bit inane of a comment. How does the "text get too small". There is a technology that I am patenting called FONT SCALING. Basically, the font size STAYS THE SAME PHYSICAL HEIGHT AND WIDTH even if the display has more pixels. It is like zooming. Each letter just uses more pixels. I am going to patent my idea and make billions.

You seriously don't understand what pixels are and how they make the font size. The number of pixels has nothing to do with the size of the font. You can increase the number of pixels and still have the same size text.]]>Jun 1st 2009 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/samsungs-wvga-amoled-800x400-pixels-and-swine-flu-immune/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/samsungs-wvga-amoled-800x400-pixels-and-swine-flu-immune/THANK YOU so much for actually understanding that high pixel density doesn't mean things "get small." It's apparently impossible for most people to wrap their heads around the idea that an inch can still be an inch even when it's got more pixels crammed into it.

high PPI (DPI) = more detailed, crisper, and beautiful displays. Things "get small" when you have your display settings incorrectly set to 96 dpi when your display is really 120 or 144 (or some other number) dpi.]]>Jun 2nd 2009 10:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/samsungs-wvga-amoled-800x400-pixels-and-swine-flu-immune/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/samsungs-wvga-amoled-800x400-pixels-and-swine-flu-immune/
That isn't an AMOLED screen of course so this I think would be brighter.

I want to see this in a feature packed Android phone hopefully before the end of the year.

I'm raring for a new phone and all I see is iPhone clones ripping off the same multi touch feature which I'm not a fan of and Android the other OS doing something different to the iPhone.

I'd love to see a feature packed Android OS running on this baby.]]>Jun 1st 2009 7:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/samsungs-wvga-amoled-800x400-pixels-and-swine-flu-immune/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/samsungs-wvga-amoled-800x400-pixels-and-swine-flu-immune/

The display is quite impressive and watching video files compressed to 800 x 480 or very close to that resolution is incredile.
