Video modes

The Video modes are known to display pixels with different sizes.
 
Basically, the Amstrad CPC Video work like a CGA video card from a PC.
 
But extra features like a 16 colours mode exist.
==Mode 0 graphics==
It's like using the colour attribute specificity (as on [[ZX spectrum]]) but with horizontal limitations.
Basically a CGA standard PC video display.
==Mode 2 graphics==
Better used as a Text Mode, yet it can be included in a splitted screen (games).
 
Because of this Mode, the Amstrad CPC was perhaps one of the 8 bit computer able to display the highest screen resolution in Full Screen (the so called "overscan")...
