	Super VGA (SVGA) is a display standard developed in 1988, when [[NEC Home Electronics]] announced its creation of the [[Video Electronics Standards Association]] (VESA). The development of SVGA was led by [[NEC]], along with other VESA members including [[ATI Technologies]] and [[Western Digital]]. SVGA enabled [[graphics display resolution]]s up to 800 × 600 [[pixel]]s, 56% more than VGA's maximum resolution of 640 × 480 pixels.<ref name="InfoWorld 1988-11-14">{{cite news\|title=NEC Forms Video Standards Group\|first=Mark \|last=Brownstein\|work=[[InfoWorld]] \|issn=0199-6649\|date=November 14, 1988\|volume=10 \|issue=46 \|page=3\|access-date=May 27, 2016\|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wTsEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PT2}}</ref>		Super VGA (SVGA) is a display standard developed in 1988, when [[NEC Home Electronics]] announced its creation of the [[Video Electronics Standards Association]] (VESA).
