The problem is that most 7" touchscreens use 800x480 as their native resolution, and so making them display a different res can have a horrible affect on the quality of the picture as it tries to interpolate.
When mine runs at 848x480 it shimies around and looks all nasty and pixelated. And text is almost impossible to read.

800x480 is the holly grail for us CarPC'ers as all other resolution alter the aspect ratio of the picture and 800x600 in windows on a 7"er makes things that little bit smaller and harder to see.
