Wide VGA or WVGA an abbreviation for Wide Video Graphics Array is any display resolution with the same 480 pixel height as VGA but wider, such as 800×480, 848×480, or 854×480. It is a common resolution among LCD projectors and later portable and hand-held internet-enabled devices (such as MID and Netbooks) as it is capable of rendering web sites designed for an 800px-wide window in full page-width. A well-known example is the ASUS Eee PC 700 series.

As of 2009 high-end mobile phones with WVGA display resolution are becoming more common (e.g. Nokia N900, Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2, HTC HD2, and Motorola Droid).

[edit] FWVGA

FWVGA an abbreviation for Full Wide Video Graphics Array referring to a display resolution of 854×480 pixels, rounded up from 853.333…. (480 x ¹⁶⁄₉ = 853.333…. Since a pixel must be a whole number, rounding up to 854 insures inclusion of the entire image.) 854×480 is approximately the resolution of anamorphically "un-squeezed" DVD widescreen video and considered a "safe" resolution that would not crop any of the image. It's called Full WVGA as it represent true 16:9 aspect ratio which can display High-definition video without cropping (i.e. full width, albeit with considerable reduction in size.) ^[1].
