VGA, or Video Graphics Array, is a display standard introduced by IBM in 1987. It was designed to provide higher resolution and better color quality for computer graphics compared to earlier standards. VGA supports a resolution of 640x480 pixels with 16 colors, or 256 colors at a lower resolution. This technology became widely used in personal computers and monitors, setting a foundation for future graphics standards. Over time, VGA has evolved into various forms, including SVGA (Super VGA) and XGA (Extended Graphics Array), which offer improved resolutions and color depths. Despite being largely replaced by digital interfaces like HDMI and DisplayPort, VGA remains relevant in some applications, particularly in older hardware and projectors.
