Display Characteristics
Equipped with a 2.2-inch TFT screen capable of displaying 65K colors, the display on the MIO 8870 was fairly standard for its time. The resolution of 176 x 220 pixels, translating to approximately 128 ppi, provided just enough clarity for basic tasks, such as reading messages and navigating menus. The inclusion of animated screensavers was a novel touch, adding a bit of customization to the user experience.
