	VGA Definition
		VGA may refer to the 15-pin VGA socket on a PC in general in order to contrast it with a digital DVI socket for flat panels.
		VGA was introduced on IBM's PS/2 line in 1987 and quickly made the earlier CGA and EGA display interfaces obsolete, which were actually digital, but with lower resolution.
		The VGA socket on the back of a PC uses a high-density DB-15 connector, which is contrasted here with the full-size DB-15 as well as the DB-9, which shares the same shell size.

	What is VGA? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
		VGA has become one of the de facto standards for PCs.
		In text mode, VGA systems provide a resolution of 720 by 400 pixels.
		Consequently, a monitor designed for one of the older standards will not be able to use VGA.

	VGA/SVGA Video Programming--Standard VGA Chipset Reference
		This section is intended to be a reference to the common functionality of the original IBM VGA and compatible adapters.
		Rather than attempt to document the VGA better than existing references by using more words to describe the registers, this section breaks down the functionality of the VGA into specific categories of similar functions or by detailing procedures for performing certain operations.

	VGA
		VGA is a color-filter AMLCD with a spatial resolution of 640 x 480 in an ultra-compact (0.44" diagonal) package.
		The ultra-compact CyberDisplay VGA is ideal for digital camera viewfinders or lightweight eyewear for watching movies, sporting events and music videos, browsing the Web, checking e-mail from mobile devices such as cell phones or playing games on the go.
		The CyberDisplay VGA is available in a frameless package (KCD-VDCF-AA) for integration into a module or in a framed package (KCD-VDCF-BA) for attachment to a snap-on backlight module.

	Dr. Dobb's \| Demystifying 16-Bit VGA \| July 22, 2001
		True 16-bit VGA is clearly the superior of the two in this context; word-sized writes actually happen quite often in text mode, as both a character and its attribute are frequently written to memory with a single instruction.
		VGA memory must also be accessed many times by the CPU in order to draw any sizable image, because there are so many pixels on the screen, in so many colors; however, those accesses must be shoehorned between the video data reads described earlier.
		If, on the other hand, a VGA is inherently capable of responding as quickly as normal AT system memory (as is theoretically the case with a VGA built around 120-nanoseconds VRAM), then the 8-bit-device wait states spell the difference between a VGA that responds in three cycles and one that responds in six cycles.

	Games with VGA Graphics
		In 1990 VGA became standard, and in 1991 EGA was more or less a thing of the past.
		VGA died out in the mid-90s, about the same time that 32-bit Windows took over from DOS.
		An interesting special case is Dark Seed, which is a VGA game but used mode 10h, which is usually hi-res EGA.

	Tweaked VGA modes. Mode X and related video modes
		There are lots of other ways to set up the VGA that work just as well as the standard modes and let you do things you can't do with the standard modes.
		This seems to be a restriction caused by the planar nature of the VGA display memory.
		The VGA has 4 planes of display memory and it reads a byte (8 bits) from all 4 planes (total of 32 bits) once for every 8 pixels (one character width) that it draws.

	GameDev.net - Mode X: 256-color VGA Magic
		Fourth, like mode 13h but unlike all other VGA modes, mode X is a byteper-pixel mode (each pixel is controlled by one byte in display memory), eliminating the slow read-before-write and bit-masking operations often required in 16-color modes.
		This is particularly effective in conjunction with the use of the VGA's latches; together, the latches and the off-screen memory allow images to be copied to the screen four pixels at a time.
		The VGA hardware feature that's truly the key to mode X performance is the ability to process four planes' worth of data in parallel; this includes both the latches and the capability to fan data out to any or all planes.

	VGA Controller (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This means that the VGA controller sends the colour information for each pixel one at a time, rather than being able to set all of the colours at once in a parallel scheme.
		The VGA monitor does not save any of the pixels written to it so the pixels must be continuously written to the monitor for the image to remain stable.
		The horizontal cycle is part of the VGA standard and defines a method for setting the colours of all the pixels in a particular row.

	VGA pinout and signals @ pinouts.ru
		There are at least four versions of the VGA connector, which are the three-row 15 pin DE-15 (also called mini sub D15) in original and DDC2 pinouts, a less featureful and far less common 9-pin VGA, and a Mini-VGA used for laptops.
		All VGA pinout signals except R, G, B are TTL level signals.
		When the VGA graphics card detects data on data-line it starts to read the data coming from the monitor synchronous to vertical sync pulse.

	Samsung VGA 1000 Reviews. Cell Phones Reviews by CNET. (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The bottom line: Samsung's VGA 1000 may not be as stylish as its cousin, the A600, but this is one camera phone that can take its fair share of abuse.
		Above the keypad is a four-way rocker key for maneuvering through the VGA 1000's menus; the button in the center of that key launches the camera and serves as a shutter-release trigger.
		The VGA 1000 has all the features you'd expect, including caller ID, conference calling, voicemail, text messaging, an alarm, a 300-name internal phone book, a calendar, a calculator, a to-do list, a world clock, and wireless Web access via Sprint's high-speed data network.

	Dr. Dobb's \| Saving and Restoring VGA Screens \| July 22, 2001
		VGA adds an additional write mode for register-level operations, a palette of 256K colors, a 4:3 screen aspect ratio, and improved split-screen and panning capabilities.
		For VGA mode 12h (640x480, 16 colors), the memory inside a VGA adapter is organized into four planes of bits (see Figure 1).
		Working at the register level requires "programming" the VGA registers, which is nothing more than putting values there to tell the adapter how to operate on the bit patterns that will be written into PC memory later on.

	ASUS A730W VGA Pocket PC, PDA Reviews by Mobile Tech Review (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In theory VGA Pocket PCs let you see up to four times as much on screen, though most of the built in applications such as Word and Excel aren't yet VGA optimized so you won't see 4x more on screen.
		VGA models have support for both landscape and portrait modes thanks to the Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition OS.
		Keep in mind that VGA requires more graphics processing power and memory, and so the model's benchmarks and perceived performance are affected.

	Video Graphics Adapter (VGA)
		VGA colors are chosen from a palette of 262,144 colors (not 16.7 million) because VGA uses 6 bits to specify each color, instead of the 8 that is the standard today.
		VGA (and VGA compatibility) is significant in one other way as well: they use output signals that are totally different than those used by older standards.
		Note that standard VGA does not include any hardware acceleration features: all the work of creating the displayed image is done by the system processor.

	VGA over Cat-5 cable
		This is possible for two reasons: firstly, although VGA connectors have 15 (or 13) pins, only about 8 wires are actually necessary to send the VGA signal; and secondly, ethernet cable is twisted pair, and we can use the magic of twisted pair to push the analog VGA signal further than spec.
		Standard VGA extension cables come in lengths of 1.8 metres (6 feet), and if you need to go a bit further you can daisy-chain several of these, with a little signal loss.
		Additionally, their fat VGA plug ends won't run through conduit smaller than about 50mm.
