Regarding images and video viewed full-screen, the answer is "no". There seems to be a misconception among some people that by using something like OzVGA or SE_VGA, that pictures and video viewed full-screen will look better. This is simply not the case. If I view a 640x480 image full-screen, it will look the same in Standard VGA or True VGA. All the pixels on my 640x480 Axim X50v screen will be utilized to correctly render the image regardless of which mode I am in.

When it comes to something like viewing a web page or an eBook, the extra real estate gained in True VGA mode can defintely be advantageous, however, you will probably have to do some tweaking to get the font sizes just right while using those applications.
