Front and rear views of the TVM MD-3 cathode-ray tube monitor (Enhanced Graphics Adapter era). Note the DE-9 connector, cryptic mode switch, contrast and brightness controls at front, and the V-Size and V-Hold knobs at rear, which allow the control of the scaling and signal to CRT refresh rate synchronization respectively.

Super Video Graphics Array, abbreviated to Super VGA or SVGA, [1] [75] [84] also known as Ultra Video Graphics Array early on, [95] abbreviated to Ultra VGA or UVGA, is a broad term that covers a wide range of computer display standards. [96] Originally, it was an extension to the VGA standard first released by IBM in 1987.
A monochrome monitor is a type of computer monitor in which computer text and images are displayed in varying tones of only one color, as opposed to a color monitor that can display text and images in multiple colors. They were very common in the early days of computing, from the 1960s through the 1980s, before color monitors became widely ...
In 1987, flat-screen CRTs were developed by Zenith for computer monitors, reducing reflections and helping increase image contrast and brightness. [62] [63] Such CRTs were expensive, which limited their use to computer monitors. [64] Attempts were made to produce flat-screen CRTs using inexpensive and widely available float glass. [65]
Apple's manufacture history of CRT displays began in 1980, starting with the Monitor /// that was introduced alongside and matched the Apple III business computer.

A modern rendering of the Utah teapot, an iconic model in 3D computer graphics created by Martin Newell in 1975. Computer graphics is a sub-field of computer science which studies methods for digitally synthesizing and manipulating visual content. Although the term often refers to the study of three-dimensional computer graphics, it also ...
