Using video features Your computer comes with an AGP SVGA (super video graphics array) controller. 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 general information on video modes, refer to Understanding Your Personal Computer.)

These are VESA modes 109 and 10A. SVGA provides higher-resolution graphics, faster refresh rates, and more colors than previous video standards, such as video graphics array (VGA). At the same time, SVGA supports all standard VGA modes. To get the best possible image on your screen and to reduce flicker, you might need to reset the resolution and refresh rate of your monitor. 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 IBM Ready-to-Configure Utility Program CD or the IBM Software Selections CD for your computer. Refer to your operating system documentation for further information on monitor settings. 5 i denotes interlaced 46 Using Your Personal Computer
