SVGA is also 800x600 the same resolution as the 6" Vizplex eink screen. The PRS-500 used the first generation eink screen which was slower and did not have as good a contrast. The PRS-505 uses a controller to drive the screen that supports 8 shades which will give better dithered photos then the Gen3 which uses a 4 shade controller.
