Hi. I am working with a PanelView Plus 6 600 and noticed that the resolution size is the same as the PanelView Plus 6 400. I'm a little surprised because I would assume that the larger screen size of the 600 would allow me to have a a more room for displaying more stuff than the 400. Am I missing something? If it is the same resolution, what is the advantage of a 600 vs a 400?
 
Your project will be easier to read (larger) and easier to touch/press buttons on the PanelView Plus 600 display.
The 600 is a larger screen in physical size, not pixel size.

You can find 10" terminals out there with a resolution of 640x480.
Well, 7" terminals have that resolution too. But a project is a lot nicer to use on the 10".
 
And to answer your other question, yes a larger display gives you more room for showing stuff (even at the same pixel size).

The pixel size is the same for the PVP 400 and 600, so they will look the same when you design them in FTView Studio.
However, the text and push buttons will be physically smaller on the PVP 400. To make them readable and useable the fonts and push buttons need to be larger, so you end up using more room.
