For performance reasons, we recommend against downscaling images. This consumes considerably more resources than either displaying images at their native size or upscaling them.

Memory and Performance

The amount of memory available for HTML applications varies by model:

  • XTx43, XTx44: 512MB for graphics; 512MB for JavaSriptJavaScript

  • XDx33, XDx34: 256MB for graphics; 512MB for JavaScript

  • HDx23/LS423/HO523: 256MB for graphics; 128MB for JavaScript
