History
Predecessor	Video Graphics Array

Extended Video Graphics Array (or EVGA) is a standard created by VESA in 1991 (VBE 1.2)^[1][2][3] denoting a non-interlaced resolution of 1024x768 at a maximum of 70 Hz refresh rate.^{[4][5][6][7][8][9]}

EVGA is similar to (but is not the same as) the IBM XGA standard. The 1990s were a period of evolving standards and EVGA did not achieve wide adoption.^[10]
