XGA vs VGA LCD monitor - which is best?

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: Burnselk

What's the difference between these two types of monitors?

Are they interchangable?

Will a VGA monitor be sufficient if my Adobe Premeire Elements 2.0 calls for an XGA monitor?

I've already purchased both the LCD (VGA) monitor and the Adobe software.

I don't really know for sure, but from looking up XGA on wikipedia, it seems as though XGA is just a little higher standard than VGA. XGA is supposed to support 800x600 and 1024x768 resolutions, where VGA is required to support lower resolutions. I personally have never seen a monitor that didn't support 1024x768 at minimum, even VGA monitors. I would bet that Adobe would be all but impossible to use at a resolution such as the minimum requirements for VGA, and it would be okay to run with minimum XGA resolutions.

But like I said, I dont really know for sure. I think you will be okay, as most LCDs today have a native resolution of 1280x1024.
