About this size

VGA was the dominant display standard from the late 1980s through the 1990s. The 640 by 480 dimensions and 4:3 aspect ratio defined an entire generation of computer interfaces, early-web design, and game art. Working at VGA dimensions is the natural choice for retro projects, period-accurate UI mockups, and any composition where the visual constraint is part of the message.

Pro tips

1 The defining display standard of the PC golden age. Used for retro game art, period UI mockups, and intentional low-res aesthetics.
2 4:3 aspect ratio matches CRT-era television and pre-widescreen cinema. The format itself reads as period-appropriate.
3 For pixel-art retro work, disable anti-aliasing to keep the era-appropriate hard edges.
