CGA was certainly 640x200 or 320x200 (depending on how many colors in the
palette you wanted [4 or 8 I seem to recall]). CGA is actually RGBI rather
than straight RGB as TTL RGB would only give you 8 colors but adding the
Intensity bit increases it to 16 (if you include dark white and light black
as two different greys). CGA also supported composite output to a TV aux in
socket.

720x350 TTL monochome was the MDA and HGC resolution.
