  Super Video Graphics Array - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Super Video Graphics Array, almost always abbreviated to Super VGA or just SVGA is a broad term that covers a wide range of computer display standards.
On paper, the original Super VGA was to be succeeded by Super XGA, but in practice the industry soon abandoned the attempt to provide a unique name for each higher display standard, and almost all display systems made between the late 1990s and the early 2000s are classed as Super VGA.
Most Super VGA monitors manufactured since the early 1990s, and all Super VGA monitors manufactured since the later years of that decade have been capable of at least XGA and usually considerably higher performance.

 Video Graphics Array - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SVGA was extended from VGA, defined by Video Electronics Standards Association instead of IBM.
VGA is referred to as an "array" instead of an "adapter" because it was implemented from the start as a single chip (a gate array), replacing the Motorola 6845 and a full-length ISA board full of discrete components that the MDA, CGA, and EGA used.
The video memory of the VGA is mapped to the PC's memory via a window in the range between 0xA0000 and 0xC0000 in the PC's real mode address space.

 SVGA - Super Video Graphics Array
Super VGA (Video Graphics Array); a set of graphics standards for a computer monitor that offers greater resolution than VGA.
SVGA (Super VGA) is the modern standard for display adapters, and allows up to 1600x1200 resolution, with up to 16 million colors.
An SVGA display has 800 horizontal pixels by 600 vertical pixels, giving it a total display resolution of 480,000 individual pixels that are used to compose the image delivered by a projector.

In the early days of monitors and video adapters - the lack of a widely accepted standard for VGA pixel addressabilities was a problem for manufacturers, system builders, programmers and end users alike.
VESA ia a consortium of video adapter and monitor manufacturers whose goal is to standardize video protocols - who developed a family of video standards that were backward compatible with VGA but offered greater resolution and more colors.
In graphics mode, the resolution is either 640 by 480 (with 16 colors) or 320 by 200 (with 256 colors).

Several months later, the PC version was re-released with VGA graphics; the Amiga version, released shortly after this, used the PC EGA version's 16-color character graphics along with the PC VGA version's room backgrounds (reduced to 16 unique colors per room).
The Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA) is the IBM PC computer display standard specification located between CGA and VGA in terms of graphics performance (that is, colour and space resolution).
While some complained that the game's upgraded, cartoony SVGA graphics were awkward and revealed the limits of the SCUMM engine, others felt they were a considerable improvement on earlier LucasArts adventures.

Video Graphics Array is a computer display standard first marketed in 1987 by IBM.
The video memory for monochrome mode is mapped into real memory at 0xb0000-0xb7fff, and the video memory for color mode is mapped at 0xb8000-0xbffff.
This is a reminiscence of the old times when an IBM PC computer could have 2 monitors attached at the same time: one monochrome (attached to a Monochrome Display Adapter card) for working with text, and one color (attached to a Color Graphics Adapter card) for displaying graphics.
