Well, it's not necessarily 640x480, although, if you are outputing something from a computer, 640x480 is a good resolution to work with. DV, for example, is 720x480 (ntsc).Also, I don't believe an analog signal really has a specific "resolution". If you watch a TV program on a projection TV with a 100" screen, the image doesn't get blocky up close, it gets fuzzy.
From my experience in hooking my computer up to my TV, the best resolution I've gotten out of my 27" is about 540xsomething.
Like I said, I'm just being nit-picky. 640x480 is a good resolution to work with. I still prefer 720x480, though, so it's easily convertable to DV.
