Display controller The display controller interprets software commands into hardware commands that turn particular parts on the screen on or off.

The display controller also controls the video mode and uses industry standard rules to govern the screen resolution and the maximum number of colors that can be displayed at any one time. Therefore, software written for a given video mode will run on any computer that supports that mode.

Due to the display panel's increased resolution, lines may appear broken in when displaying images in full-screen text mode.

Graphics controller The graphics controller maximizes display performance.Legal Footnote (Graphics Processing Unit ("GPU"))
