=== Monitor ===
The ST supports a [[monochrome monitor|monochrome]] or colour monitor. The colour hardware supports two resolutions: 320 × 200 pixels, with 16 of 512 colours; and 640 × 200, with 4 of 512 colours. The monochrome monitor was less expensive and has a single resolution of 640 × 400 at 71.25&nbsp;Hz. The attached monitor determines available resolutions, so each application either supports both types of monitors or only one.<ref name="byte198601">{{cite magazine | title=The Atari ST | magazine=[[Byte (magazine)|BYTE]] | volume=11 | issue=1 | date=January 1986 | url=https://archive.org/stream/byte-magazine-1986-01/1986_01_BYTE_11-01_Robotics#page/n85/mode/2up | access-date=17 April 2016 | last1=Edwards | first1=Jon R. | last2=Robinson | first2=Phillip | last3=McLaughlin | first3=Brenda | pages=84}}</ref> Most ST games require colour with productivity software favouring the monochrome.
