Description

Super VGA

video graphics with higher resolution than VGA. Display monitors re-ceive
instructions from a video card that, among other functions, allow for
color display and screen resolution. VGA (Video Gate Array or Video Graph-ics
Adapter) was a standard introduced by IBM in the 1980s that had a maxi-mum
resolution of 640x480 pixels with 16 colors. Although SVGA features
differ according to individual manufacturers, the standard allows for resolu-tions
of up to 1600x1200 pixels and color display capabilities from 256 colors to
16 million colors. Standards for video display are reviewed by a number of graph-ics
manufacturers known as the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA).
