The world's worst video card?

Caption notes
Ben Eater starts with VGA timing. Each line has time for visible pixels and a blanking interval, while horizontal and vertical synchronization mark the cadence of lines and frames. He chooses a narrow design goal: follow the timing of one display mode, using a slower pixel clock and sending fewer pixels while preserving the duration of the intervals. In his closing remarks, he separates synchronization, the subject of this episode, from the red, green and blue signals needed to send a picture, which he leaves for the next video.
