Appendix C Video Modes This appendix lists the video modes supported by the display adapter and identifies the characteristics of each mode. The columns in the tables have the following meanings: Mode is the mode number in hexadecimal and is generally used by programmers to specify video modes in programs. Type identifies the display adapter that first supported the mode and specifies whether the mode is text or graphics. Resolution is the measure of the screen's dimensions in terms of horizontal and vertical pixels (in graphics modes), or rows and columns of characters (in text modes). Grid is the default number of pels per character. A pel is the smallest display element that the computer can control. It consists of a single pixel (dot), or a set of contiguous pixels. LCD Colors is the maximum number of simultaneous colors, or shades of gray, that the mode can display on the built-in screen. CRT Colors is the maximum number of simultaneous colors, or shades of gray, that the mode can display on an external monitor. 267
