QVGA is half of the resolution of VGA.

QVGA has 76800 Pixels.
VGA has 307200 Pixels.
QVGA does have a quarter of the number of pixels but only half the resolution of VGA.

Hmm... after re-reading this carefully, I think you might be right. I may have been under the wrong impression this whole time in regards to how resolution is actually affected by the number of pixels. I know resolution to be defined as the ability to differentiate between two objects, but does resolution only double when the number of pixels is quadrupled? Is it like how brightness of an light drops as the square of the distance?
