The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) is an international organization that develops and promotes industry standards for video and display technologies. Founded in 1989, VESA focuses on ensuring compatibility and interoperability among various video devices, including monitors, graphics cards, and projectors. One of VESA's most notable contributions is the development of the DisplayPort standard, which allows high-definition video and audio transmission between devices. VESA also works on standards related to display performance, such as the Adaptive Sync technology, which helps reduce screen tearing in video games and other applications.
