A video graphics adapter is configured to provide both parallel and sequential color components to separate display monitors. When in a first state, the video graphics adapter provides individual color components to a video-output independent of each other color component, such that an entire frame of a red component will be provided to a video-out port for prior to, or subsequently after, an entire frame of the green component being provided to the video-out port. Each color component is provided to a common port. In response to a second configuration state, a traditional parallel red, green, blue (RGB) data port will be generated in order to provide data to a display device. In yet another configuration state, both the individual color components are provided at a common port, and the individual color components are provided in parallel to an RGB port.
