I wanna know if it possible to store an image file in FPGA - Spartan3 and then load it to the monitor screen as display?

If yes, how do I do that?

Thank u

    Spartan 3 is a Xilinx device, you need a suitable Altera FPGA.

    It depends on the size of the image, you might need external memory.

    That's a bit of an open-ended question :-)

    Blocking out your requirements first. At the very least you'll need a display driver, so I'd start there. It's very straightforward and will allow you to experiment with different display modes / refresh rates. Once you've got a stable display, figure out how / what you want to display.
