Standards
- VESA Feature Connector (VFC), obsolete connector that was often present on older videocards, used as an 8-bit video bus to other devices
- VESA Advanced Feature Connector (VAFC), newer version of the above VFC that widens the 8-bit bus to either a 16-bit or 32-bit bus
- VESA Local Bus (VLB), once used as a fast video bus (akin to the more recent AGP)
- VESA BIOS Extensions (VBE), used for enabling standard support for advanced video modes (at high resolutions and color depths)
- Display Data Channel (DDC), a data link protocol which allows a host device to control an attached display and communicate EDID, DPMS, MCCS and similar messages
- E-EDID, a data format for display identification data that defines supported resolutions and video timings
- Monitor Control Command Set (MCCS), a message protocol for controlling display parameters such as brightness, contrast, display orientation from the host device
- DisplayID, display identification data format, which is a replacement for E-EDID.
- VESA Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS), which allows monitors to be queried on the types of power saving modes they support
- Digital Packet Video Link (DPVL), a display link standard that allows to update only portions of the screen
- VESA Stereo, a standard 3-pin connector for synchronization of stereoscopic images with LC shutter glasses
- Flat Panel Display Interface (FPDI), logical and electrical standard for flat panel display interfacing
- Flat Display Mounting Interface (FDMI), which defines "VESA mounts"
- Generalized Timing Formula (GTF), video timings standard
- Coordinated Video Timings (CVT), a replacement for GTF
- Display Monitor Timing (DMT), lists standard display timings for various resolutions and screen sizes
- VESA Video Interface Port (VIP), a digital video interface standard
- DisplayPort Standard, a digital video interface standard
- VESA Enhanced Video Connector, an obsolete standard for reducing the number of cables around computers.

Famous quotes containing the word standards:
“A generation which has passed through the shop has absorbed standards and ambitions which are not of those of spaciousness, and cannot get away from them. Everything with them is done as though for sale, and they naturally have in view the greatest possible benefit, profit and that end of the stuff that will make the best show.”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
“Chief among our gains must be reckoned this possibility of choice, the recognition of many possible ways of life, where other civilizations have recognized only one. Where other civilizations give a satisfactory outlet to only one temperamental type, be he mystic or soldier, business man or artist, a civilization in which there are many standards offers a possibility of satisfactory adjustment to individuals of many different temperamental types, of diverse gifts and varying interests.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
“In this nation I see tens of millions of its citizens, a substantial part of its whole population, who at this very moment are denied the greater part of what the very lowest standards of today call the necessities of life. I see one third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished. The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
