 8514 (display standard) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 8514 is an IBM graphics computer display standard supporting a display resolution of 1024×768 pixels with 256 colours at 43.5 Hz (interlaced), or 640×480 at 60 Hz (non-interlaced).
The interface allows computer software to offload common 2D-drawing operations (line-draw, color-fill, BITBLT) onto the 8514 hardware.

 Computer display -
A computer display, monitor or screen is a computer peripheral device capable of showing characters and/or still or moving images generated by a computer and processed by a graphics card.
Once an essential component of a computer terminal, computer displays have long since become standardized peripherals in their own right.
It is a common misconception that all computer monitors are digital.

Virtually all of the new plasma/LCD/DLP displays are capable of displaying a clean computer image as long as the manufacturer has provided the traditional computer inputs on the back.
Remember, computer displays are sharper than televisions, so displaying a lower resolution image is easy for any computer monitor.
The standard for most computer monitors is a 15 pin SVGA connector (five pins on each of three rows).

 Define display modes - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: CGA, EGA, VGA, XGA, SVGA, display mode
The earliest displays for personal computers were monochrome monitors that were used in word processors and text-based computer systems in the 1970s.
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).
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.

 Display and retrieval of data.
Even computer displays with high-resolution graphic monitors often sacrifice much of the available display area to a plethora of semi-permanent "buttons" and other interface elements designed to receive information from users rather than convey information to them.
Tufte argues that printed page can display up to 20 times more information in a given area than standard computer monitors.
It is not clear that the display techniques suitable for desktop computers or current-generation patient data management systems are appropriate for high-bandwidth display of clinical information.

 Better assessment of burns with 3-D computer display
An easy-to-use, three-dimensional computer graphics program is bringing a new level of accuracy, consistency and standardization to the evaluation of burn patients, which should result in more precise treatment plans and better evaluation of new therapies.
Studies comparing the computer with standard burn assessment found that the computer is much more reliable and consistent than the standard system, particularly for larger burns.
The computer, using software originally developed for architects, allows the burn team to begin assessment on a frame, assembled from 10,000 tiny triangles, that closely resembles the patient.

LCD monitors are rapidly replacing Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) screens as the standard computer display device.
The technology of LCD displays tend to project the light more directly forward than a CRT does so that image fading is noticeable as you move from directly in front of the screen to the side.
Gamers also prefer greater brightness to add snap to game images, though other users, such as professional artists, may prefer less brightness to gain a more natural rendering of visual works.
