Not true. Although it is spec'd as:
Lum. Resolution: >400 lines
This is with regard to the output video and not the internal resolution
of the digital data which does equate to pixels. Also, lines of video
resolution does not equal the number of "scanlines" in the frame buffer
though they are related. The Toaster's internal digital resolution in
the two frame buffers is 768 x 484.
