| | Video Graphics Array - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | VGA is referred to as an "array" instead of an "adapter" because it was implemented from the start as a single chip, replacing the Motorola 6845 and dozens of discrete logic chips covering a full-length ISA board that the MDA, CGA, and EGA used. | | | Video Graphics Array (VGA) is an analog computer display standard first marketed in 1987 by IBM. | | | Another popular feature of Mode X programming was the availability of multiple video pages in hardware used to perform 'page-flipping', also known as double buffering. |

| | Smart Computing Encyclopedia Entry - Ultra Video Graphics Array (UVGA) |
| | VGA is an analog format that replaced the preceding digital formats. | | | Although replacing digital with analog seems like it would not be considered progress, VGA actually increased the capacity to make signal variations and provided the ability to offer more color combinations than digital would allow at the time. | | | Support of these standards may vary depending of the brand of monitor and video card installed on any given computer. |

The following is a definition of the more common graphics adapters used in personal computers. |

| | Super Video Graphics Array - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Super Video Graphics Array, almost always abbreviated to Super VGA or just SVGA is a broad term that covers a wide range of computer display standards. | | | Although the number of colours was defined in the original specification, this soon became irrelevant as (in contrast to the old CGA and EGA standards) the interface between the video card and the VGA or Super VGA monitor uses simple analog voltages to indicate the desired colour depth. | | | Originally, it was an extension to the VGA standard first released by IBM in 1987. |

| | Because the VGA outputs an analog signal, you must have a monitor that accepts an analog input. | | | Windows 2000 and Windows XP also offer a VGA Mode startup that also uses this mode (Windows XP uses 800x600 resolution) but doesn't slow down the rest of the computer the way Safe Mode (which replaces 32-bit drivers with BIOS services) does. | | | If a Windows 9x/Me or Windows XP/2000 system must be started in Safe Mode because of a startup problem, the system defaults to VGA in the 640x480, 16-color mode. |
