I know it seems counterintuitive, but it is 100% factual that 640x480 is four times the resolution of 320x240. Do the math (or follow Rally1's calculations above).

Well if you are comparing quality, whether it's a screen or a photograph, ultimately it gets down to pixels per square and then distance from the viewer. The density, not the total amount, is what gives the picture clarity. The fact that they are different sizes, is my point in that you can't just compare total pixels.
