‘854×480 resolution for Wii U controller’

The gamepad screen at the heart of the Wii U experience displays at a 854×480 resolution, according to new research and estimates.

Entertainment site Golgotron claims the Wii U controller screen displays at the wide-VGA display standard.

The factual basis to this claim is debatable. The resolution size was estimated after hi-res images of the controller were observed.

The controller screen was manually measured at 870 pixels wide – though it was believed that that errors were made in the calculation and a far more likely result is 854 pixels.
