	Color Graphics Adapter - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-07)
		CGA was commonly considered to be able to display a maximum of 4 colors at a resolution of 320×200; however, there were several ways (some official, some not) to display more colors, even for graphics display purposes.
		In 320×200 graphics mode, the background color, which defaulted to fl on mode initialization, could be changed to any of the other 15 colors of the CGA palette.
		The CGA card was succeeded by IBM's Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA) card, which supported most of the CGA modes, and added modes with up to 640×350 pixels with a software-selectable palette of 16 colors out of 64.

	Color Graphics Adapter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Commodore 128 used the same method of transmitting colors on its RGBI output and thus could use the same monitors and display the same 16 colors.
		The colors in Composite color mode did not use the same color table as the CGA color set, but was more like that of the Apple II's "double-hi-res" mode, as both used a similar technique (composite signal color artifacting).
		The CGA card was succeeded in the consumer space by IBM's Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA) card, which supported most of CGA's modes, and added an additional resolution (640×350) as well as a software-selectable palette of 16 colors out of 64 in both text and graphics modes.

	CGA - Color Graphics Adapter
		Graphics adapters were then made available such as IBMís CGA which was capable of creating graphics and text in colour at low resolution - 300x200 pixels with 16 colours per pixel possible.
		IBM's first color graphics standard, capable of 320 by 320 resolution at four colors (or gray shades on laptops), or 640 by 200 at two colors (fl and white).
		An early color graphics adapter standard with resolutions of 320 pixels by 200 pixels or 640 x 200.

		The color pictures accompanying this article were made with a $1000 RGB color monitor, so don't expect such stunning graphics to come from your composite monitor or an ordinary color television.
		Color 0 can be any of the 16 colors available, while colors 1 through 3 are set by choosing one of two three-color sets.
		The color/graphics adapter card supports two text formats: the first, suitable for color televisions and composite monitors, is 25 rows of 40 characters each, while the second, usable by RGB monitors only, is 25 rows of 80 characters each.

		Just look at the advances made by IBM over the course of a decade: In 1981, IBM introduced the Color Graphics Adapter (CGA), which was capable of rendering four colors, and had a maximum resolution of 320 pixels horizontally by 200 pixels vertically.
		The combination of the display modes supported by your graphics adapter and the color capability of your monitor determine how many colors can be displayed.
		The colors blend to build all the colors you see.) The frequency at which they redraw the image is called the refresh rate, and it's an important measure of how steady the image will appear.

		EGA is a graphic standard introduced by IBM in 1984 as a contemporary to the IBM PC AT personal computer.
		This standard supplanted the CGA (color graphics adapter) standard, the first IBM color graphics card, which offered fewer colors at lower resolution.
		The EGA standard is not missed; users from the 1980s remember the monitors as fundamentally blurry, so much so that many businesses used monochrome or single-color monitors for years to help their workers see the text on-screen.

		A lot of times the graphics card had a printer port on it since the printer would print the same data shown on the screen.
		Color appeared with the 4 color Hercules Graphics Card (HGC), followed by the 8 color Color Graphics Adapter (CGA) followed by the 16 color Ehanced Graphics Adapter (EGA).

	How to upgrade your color graphics card
		For years, PC users were locked into a dull world of 16 colors while Mac and Amiga owners were free to experiment with thousands and even millions of hues.
		Pixel-depth is the term for the number of bits available for the color information of each pixel (a pixel is the smallest dot the video card can display, and it can be only one color at a time).
		Graphic artists, multimedia producers, animators, and others who need lots of colors but want to keep their expenses down should turn to high-color, which offers the best combination of colors, resolutions, and price.

	display modes - a Whatis.com definition - see also: CGA, EGA, VGA, XGA, SVGA, display mode (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-07)
		The term display mode refers to the characteristics of a computer display, in particular the maximum number of colors and the maximum image resolution (in pixels horizontally by pixels vertically).
		This display system was capable of rendering four colors, and had a maximum resolution of 320 pixels horizontally by 200 pixels vertically.
		While CGA was all right for simple computer games such as solitaire and checkers, it did not offer sufficient image resolution for extended sessions of word processing, desktop publishing, or sophisticated graphics applications.

	Color Graphics Adapter (CGA)
		The CGA supports several different modes; the highest quality text mode is 80x25 characters in 16 colors.
		Graphics modes range from monochrome at 640x200 (which is worse than the Hercules card) to 16 colors at 160x200.
		These dots are accessible individually when in a graphics mode but in text each character was formed from a matrix that is 8x8, instead of the MDA's 9x14, resulting in much poorer text quality.

	Ian Fieggen's Site - History of Computer Graphics
		When the first personal computers began to appear, their "graphics" capability was generally fairly chunky by today's standards.
		The popular TRS-80 computer had a graphics resolution of 128 x 48 dots in fl and white (or amber if you had a trendy low eye strain monitor).
		Programmers in those days usually compressed their graphic data in order to squeeze the maximum visual capabilities into the limited program memory of their computers.

		The attributes for setting border color may be set on MCGA, but the borders will remain the default color (they cannot actually be set) 4) The IBM Color Graphics Adapter (CGA) is too slow for the screen to be updated before the vertical retrace of the monitor is completed.
		IBM's default is to turn the adapter off when it is being updated, ie "flickering" when the display is scrolled.

		IBM Color Graphics Adapter (CGA) The original CGA was built with discrete logic around an MC6845 display controller.
		On the original CGA and some clones accessing the video memory during the active display time caused the display controller to miss some pixels (seen as "snow"), which is the reason many programs only accesses video memory during vertical or horizontal retrace.
