Display Controller and Video mode

Display controller

The display controller interprets software commands into hardware
commands that turn particular parts on the screen on or off.
Due to the display panel's increased resolution, lines may appear broken
in when displaying images in full-screen text mode.
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.

Video mode

Video mode settings are configured via the Display Properties dialog.
To open the Display Properties dialog, click Start
Appearance and Personalization
Settings.
If you are running some applications (for example a 3D application or
video playback and so on), you may see some disturbance, flickering or
frame dropping on your screen.
If that occurs, adjust the resolution of display, lowering it until the screen is
displayed properly.
