| | Color Graphics Adapter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Color Graphics Adapter (CGA), introduced in 1981, was IBM's first color graphics card, and the first color computer display standard for the IBM PC. | | | Composite color mode was rarely utilized in software: No BIOS support led to poor programmer adoption, and the cost of an IBM system was high enough that most people who could afford it could also afford the more expensive RGB monitor IBM offered. | | | Although a roundabout way of achieving 16 color graphics display, this worked quite well [3] and the mode was even mentioned (although not explained) in IBM's official hardware documentation. |

| | CGA - Color Graphics Adapter |
| | Abbreviation for color graphics adapter; an all-but outmoded type of computer monitor. | | | Graphics adapters were then made available such as IBMís CGA which was capable of creating graphics and text in colour at low resolution - 300x200 pixels with 16 colours per pixel possible. | | | CGA (Color Graphics Adapter) low-resolution stadard for text and graphics. |

| | Often referred to as a monitor when packaged in a separate case, the display is the most-used output device on a computer. | | | UXGA can support palette of up to 16.8 million colors and resolutions of up to 1600x1200 pixels, depending on the video memory of the graphics card in your computer. | | | Just look at the advances made by IBM over the course of a decade: In 1981, IBM introduced the Color Graphics Adapter (CGA), which was capable of rendering four colors, and had a maximum resolution of 320 pixels horizontally by 200 pixels vertically. |

| | The monochrome adapter card is most suited to IBM machines that will be used in an office environment only. | | | If you are in graphics mode and want to print text, you simply give the appropriate command (for example, PRINT when in BASIC) and the computer draws the characters on the graphics screen automatically. | | | The IBM color/graphics adapter card has three color-graphics resolutions, only two of which are supported by the system software in ROM. |

| | display modes - a Whatis.com definition - see also: CGA, EGA, VGA, XGA, SVGA, display mode |
| | While CGA was all right for simple computer games such as solitaire and checkers, it did not offer sufficient image resolution for extended sessions of word processing, desktop publishing, or sophisticated graphics applications. | | | The term display mode refers to the characteristics of a computer display, in particular the maximum number of colors and the maximum image resolution (in pixels horizontally by pixels vertically). | | | Typically, an SVGA display can support a palette of up to 16,000,000 colors, although the amount of video memory in a particular computer may limit the actual number of displayed colors to something less than that. |

| | How to upgrade your color graphics card |
| | For years, PC users were locked into a dull world of 16 colors while Mac and Amiga owners were free to experiment with thousands and even millions of hues. | | | For example, standard 640-by-480-pixel VGA offers a 4-bit pixel depth, which means each pixel can be one of 16 colors. | | | "Who needs all those colors anyway," we grumbled, "when all I'm using are spreadsheet and word processing programs?" But today we use PCs for much more: color desktop publishing, multimedia, and graphic art, not to mention playing games that can display stunning, high-resolution graphics. |

| | Color Graphics Adapter (CGA) |
| | Note that the maximum resolution of CGA is actually significantly lower than MDA: 640x200. | | | Graphics modes range from monochrome at 640x200 (which is worse than the Hercules card) to 16 colors at 160x200. | | | These dots are accessible individually when in a graphics mode but in text each character was formed from a matrix that is 8x8, instead of the MDA's 9x14, resulting in much poorer text quality. |
