The graphics hardware standard intended by [IBM] to supersede [VGA]. It adds resolutions up to 1024x768 pixels in 256 colours, 4:3 aspect ratio). However, it was built for the [MCA] bus which never caught on, and required special drivers to use as more than a plain [VGA] card, so [XGA] never became successful. The market was won over by a slew of incompatible [SVGA] designs instead. |

The acronym was later recycled by [MarkeTroid]s to mean a maximum resolution support of 1024x768 pixels in [LCD] displays and computer video projectors. Technically, they have nothing to do with [XGA]. This was then bastardized further as maximum resolutions grew. A list of seen acronyms, sorted by resolution: |

This list should not be considered exhaustive; you can combine "Super", "Wide", "Quad", "Ultra", and "Plus" in many more ways than shown. Some MarkeTroid somewhere is sooner or later bound to. |
