Most terminals today are graphical, that is, they can show images on the screen. The modern term for graphical terminal is "[[thin client]]".{{Citation needed|date=June 2019}} A thin client typically uses a protocol like [[X Window System|X11]] for [[Unix]]-terminals, or [[Remote Desktop Protocol|RDP]] for Microsoft Windows. The bandwidth needed depends on the protocol used, the resolution, and the [[color depth]].
