So when I connect my computer through vnc, the host computer displays the resolution of 640x480. Going to screen resolution, the display is set to "display device on: Mobile PC Display" the host computer is not plugged into a monitor but that should not even matter, as I am connected using vnc using a tightvnc client.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

if your problem is "default monitor", you can change the minimum resolution on boot/configure.txt

uncomment :

# uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus
# overscan.
framebuffer_width=1280
framebuffer_height=720
