I don't fully understand the issue, but like sparrow said widescreen in the MS Dash should control whether you get 640x480 or 720x480.  720 is the width when it thinks you have a widescreen (16:9) format TV or monitor.

i have tried 16:9 and widscreen modes in my dash.but thr moniter still displays it as 640*480..may be x2vga is displaying 480p in that resoloution.any one with an x2vga can confirm this?

I have witnessed this issue before in work.

First off remember is 480/3*4=640 so 640x480 as everyone is saying is 4:3. Widescreen is 720x480.

When connecting a Tag McLaren DVD32FLR to a Sim2 HT300Plus by component, the display info says 640x480 or 640x576. When connecting the same kit together by DVI, it 720x480 and 720x576. I am led to believe that the true resolutions are only available when connected digitally, or in a fashion that carries data.

This topic is interesting, and I look forward to hearing from others here.
