Screen Display Modes: The following tables list display modes available on the Amiga. They are grouped according to the Amiga chip set, showing the possible modes under the Original chip set (OCS), Enhanced Chip Set (ECS), and the AA chip set. To determine if you can use a particular mode, check the horizontal and vertical scan rates listed in the Mode Properties display against the specifications for your monitor. If the display mode's scan rates are outside your monitor's acceptable range, you cannot use that mode. Within the chip set groups, the modes are listed by the monitor file name that must be in your Devs/Monitors drawer for those modes to be available in the ScreenMode editor. To use any of the display modes shown, you must have the full custom chip set required and the appropriate monitor driver icon must be present in Devs/Monitors. Screen Resolution is given in pixels, with the horizontal size followed by the vertical size. For example, 640 x 400 is a screen 640 pixels wide and 400 pixels high. In the Colour Palette column, the maximum number of displayable colours is given first, followed by a slash, and then the size of the palette for that mode. For example, 16/4096 is a maximum of 16 displayable colours from a total palette of 4096 colours. Also see: 'Different types of monitors'.
