I'm not convinced about the relevance of the comparison to EGA. Perhaps this would be more appropriate under

as a more general comparison against other display standards of the era? Crb136 (talk) 22:00, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Same here. I saw that and thought... "so what?". Is it simply because some easily confused people may mistake any display-standard TLA for another so long as it starts with the same letter? 193.63.174.11 (talk) 11:22, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's because Amiga/68000 fans litter Wikipedia with "information" written from a competitive standpoint. Wherever they can squeeze it in you'll find entries talking or trying to indicate how much better the Amiga was than the PC and how much better the 680x0 series was than the Intel 80x86 series. Usually of course these comparison are cherry picked product comparisons which may highlight perceived advantages from the Amiga/68000 platform, but not the disadvantages. For that reason, I have /helpfully/ added a comparison to VGA. One might even add a product description for the Number #9 Revolution 512x32, probably the first ever 24bit desktop graphics adaptor, available as a plug-in for the PC before the Amiga even came to market.

This section and all other recent additions are entirely unsourced and close to original research. Because of this, I pruned most of the article. I recommend to use reliable sources to support any new content . Pavlor (talk) 07:03, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
