The '''VT240 Series terminal''' was a [[video terminal]] from [[DEC]] with [[graphics]] support. In graphics mode, it could display 800x240 [[pixel]]s; in text mode, it could display up to 24 lines of text (either 80 or 132 characters per line).

The VT240 supported the [[Remote Graphics Instruction Set]] standard; it also had graphics support compatible with the [[Tektronix 4014]]. The VT240 also supported the [[DEC multinational character set]]. It could also emulate a [[VT52]] or [[VT100]].

The VT240 could be used with either a monochrome or colour [[video display|monitor]]. The [[keyboard]] was a separate unit; 15 different ones were available. An optional integral [[modem]] was also available.
