The VT320 is an ANSI standard computer terminal introduced by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) in 1987.[1] The VT320 is the text-only version, while the VT330 adds monochrome ReGIS, Sixel and Tektronix 4010 graphics, and the VT340 adds color.
The 300 series replaced the earlier VT200 series, as a lower-cost system better able to compete with a number of VT220 clones that had entered the market. Foremost among these was the Wyse WY-60,[citation needed] introduced in 1986 with a form factor and feature set similar to the VT220, but including 4010 graphics and selling for only $699, compared to $795 for the base-model VT220 lacking graphics. The VT320 was introduced at $495, something of a surprise,[2] forcing Wyse to lower their prices to $599.
The VT320 was replaced by the VT420 in 1990, but the VT340 remained in production until all of these models were replaced by the VT500 series in 1994.
