854 × 480 (FWVGA)

FWVGA is an abbreviation for Full Wide Video Graphics Array which refers to a display resolution of 854 × 480 pixels. 854 × 480 is approximately the 16:9 aspect ratio of anamorphically "un-squeezed" NTSC DVD widescreen video and considered a "safe" resolution that does not crop any of the image. It is called Full WVGA to distinguish it from other, narrower WVGA resolutions which require cropping 16:9 aspect ratio high-definition video (i.e. it is full width, albeit with considerable reduction in size).

The 854 pixel width is rounded up from 853.3:

480 × ​16⁄9 = ​7680⁄9 = 853​1⁄3.

Since a pixel must be a whole number, rounding up to 854 ensures inclusion of the entire image.[71]

In 2010, mobile phones with FWVGA display resolution started to become more common. A list of mobile phones with FWVGA displays is available. In addition, the Wii U GamePad that comes with the Nintendo Wii U gaming console includes a 6.2-inch FWVGA display.



Basically, it's a resolution that works well with cell phone displays. While searching, I stumbled upon torrents of normal movies where the video was encoded in that resolution, so the "cell phone size" thing makes sense to me.
