XGA] (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! XGA+ stands for eXtended Graphics Array Plus and is a computer display standard. XGA+ is often used on 17 inch desktop CRT monitors. XGA+ is usually understood to refer to the 1152864 resolution with an aspect ratio of 4:3. As LCD screens are getting increasingly popular, this resolution is decreasing in use, but it is the native resolution of some 17 inch 4:3 LCD displays. Historically, the resolution relates to the earlier standard of 1152900 pixels, which was adopted by Sun Microsystems for the Sun-2 workstation in the early 1980s. This resolution is close to the maximum practical which, using one byte per pixel, can fit into a video memory or frame-buffer of one megabyte. However, its aspect ratio is 3.84:3.
