SVGA is a video standard for displaying text and graphic images on a monitor screen. Like other video standards, SVGA supports a variety of video modes. Video modes are different combinations of resolution, refresh rate, and color depth defined by a video standard for displaying text or graphics. (For further information on video modes, refer to Understanding Your Personal Computer.)

You can view and change monitor settings through your operating system. Instructions for doing this are included in a README file that is provided on the Ready-to-Configure Utility Program CD for your computer. Refer to your operating-system documentation for further information on monitor settings. 30 Using Your Personal Computer
