Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | Color Graphics Adapter |
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | This image shows both the typical interface of a high resolution 640x200 CGA display, and is representative of its limitations regarding monochrome and non square pixels. Also, it is a sample of actual art created at the time and not some modern simulation. |
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
Unlikely that any free images released at the time to officially demonstrate 640x200 CGA graphics exist. |
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | There must be at least a screenshot from actual software using 640x200 CGA and from that time (early 1990s) to illustrate the look and feel of the graphics. Simulations are useful for technical discussion and to highlight limitation, but no good to show actual use. Resolution is a low as possible, preserving the original pixel scale. Any resize would make text and other pixel details (including dithering, which is part of what the image is illustrating) illegible. |
