[Acronym] for __V__ideo __G__raphics __A__rray. An [IBM] graphics hardware standard used in [PC]s for many years. It was developed as the successor to [EGA] and [CGA] and delivers resolutions up to 640x480 in 16 colours (aspect ratio 4:3) and up to 320x200 in 256 colours (aspect ratio 8:5), chosen from a palette of 262,144 shades (6 bit per [RGB] component). [IBM] developed [XGA] as its successor, but other [Proprietary] extensions collectively referred to as [SVGA] dominated the market instead. Eventually the [VBE] standard emerged to alleviate the need for applications to support each [SVGA] chip separately.
