Btw all this praise for 320 x 428 makes me want to try it... any way I can change the resolution or will I have to flash a new nbh? And is the screen blurry? I tried a higher resolution once but because of the blurriness I've been using 240 x 320 ever since.
Yeah you'll need a new NBH (320x428).


My impression in contrast to 320x428@144

320x480@160 = More blurry
240x320@120 = Most clear but apps like the phone don't render correctly
240x320@110 = More blurry

Awesome, exactly what I needed to know. I'll try this out ASAP.

Note that the further away you are from 143PPI the less clear it becomes, which was the reason I decided to go looking for a way to calculate the correct density value in the first place.

Just set the density to 143 @ 428x320 and I must say this is awesome. Thanks for the research.

edit -Just tried 144 and it seems to me 144 is sharper than 143. Anyone else tried both?

Not tried 143 actually, since 144 was as close as I could get, there should be very little difference between the two, however the figure of 143 is a calculated one, and 144 may give better performance due to it's 'even-ness', not sure really, lol

I tried this, but it's so blury that I had to revert to 240x320x107...

Have you tried 320x428@144 or 240x320@144? Not that it should make any difference, however the clarity at 428x320@144 is pin sharp and just feels 'right'.

I just tried 240x320x144 and as I thought everything was so big ;)
Later I will try 320x428x144. Last I set dpi to 143 and there probably was my mistake.

well 240x320@143 is pretty much the same as 144, however it will look larger than the 320x428@144, which so far is my favourite settings on donut and eclair.

The larger the ppi value, the smaller everything looks, since it tries to fit the 160 pixels onto a screen, which is physically only 143 pixels per inch, 240x320 @107 should look larger than at 144, since it only needs to display 107 pixels per inch.

If you imagine a square of pixels 100x100 then at a ppi of 107 it will take up almost all the screen, however if you have the same 100x100 square at 144 ppi there will be 44 pixels not covered. Since the physical screen area is 240x320 pixels this makes the square on the 144 ppi screen seem smaller.

Confused? I was too until I actually worked it all out, but trust me, thats the way it is , larger ppi=more screen area.

Just a thought, but if we use ppi numbers that are 'square' then we may get cleaner looking screens, since pixels are square, incidentally, 144 is 12^2, so using a squared value may mean less distortion at the pixel level, as I said, just a thought
