VGA was a beast. It’s why it still persists. I will never understand people that had issues with it. It was keyed and if you ever over torqued the screws just go and get a screw driver or pliers. Shit is strong enough to hold computers hanging from it. I’ve seen way too many fucked up hdmi and DisplayPort cables. If we took the vga connector and gave it digital signals we’d have so much less cable waste.

micro USB 3.0 seems more fitting.

I remember having school computers that were connected to the monitor using VGA. As I was the only person who knew how to plug a VGA port in the class (sometimes including the teacher), I just had to plug them all a few times during the lesson.

Can I leave my PC hanging from the connector 🗿

OP like 10 years old? VGA is a blessing compared to old ports

VGA was fine, at least they are common. I have had a number of devices with mini Displayport and i have NEVER stumbled across a cable to fit it
HeftyFineThereFolks
yep need those two screws to assure that your precious pins dont bend but your computer gets yanked hard enough to crash the harddrive when someone trips on the cable.

FUCK this chart SUCKS.
Put the fucking micro USB in the middle. VGA cables are just fine.

you do realize basically every server board and many workstation ones still come with vga right?

where is “our” port ?
LerchAddams
Still available on new servers, industrial control systems and some other stuff.
How about uncolor coded sound card 3.5 ports hate when manufacturers do that.

Don’t hate on VGA that was my childhood.

Nah bro my friend had a PC that would not connect to the monitor using HDMI and D-Port we were close to change the GPU but tried one last attemp with VGA and worked, probably it was a bit bent and damaged those ports but thanks to VGA (that meccanically is hard as macadamia) now it works

HDMI does not deserve a place because of the proprietary spec of HDMI 2.0
Chimp-eh

VGA was lit in the day. Its why we still use it. Its easy to implement, and super robust. And when you are doing IT stuff with servers you don’t need anything fancy. Its why new server equipment still comes with it.

I bet a lot of millenial have a drawer with at least one VGA cable there for some reason… just in case.

VGA 15 pin is one of the most versatile low cost video port. Plenty of devices still use it to this day, get outta here.

Htmi is harder to use than VGA lmao

VGA is just fine – DVI and DisplayPort are the fucking devil.

Mini HDMI, just why?

VGA is literally the strongest port, you could pick up your CRT monitor by the cable.
It also goes in one way so it’s not that hard to plug it in just by touching.
The shitty consumer ports are all that USB garbage they made.

Centronics ports were bad

I remember days of Serial and Printer ports. VGA is fine

Thunderbolt port can fuck off. VGA is still in use.

Nah VGA is a reliable asset. Because when your fancy graphics card hasn’t install the drivers properly, the vga on the motherboard saves your ass

What did vga do to you ?
The OGs remember much worse
USB a is the worst
VGA good tho

Go find the number of PCs and Monitors without a VGA.
Next show me all the ones without an HDMI, followed by all those without DP.
Fuck the OGs, the actual technicians know what a god send the ol’ reliable is.
I’m never gonna like the display or mini display ports.
VGA was stable for so long you can’t convince me it’s not S-tier.
Thankfully C-Supremacy is right around the corner though.
It’s funny that they don’t put micro-USB in there with VGA. Shit’s hot garbage.
VGA is love.
VGA is life.
Show me a more used port for displays. I’ll wait.
Almost all servers has a VGA port. It just works.
Lighting should be in the middle, shares the podium with vga
