    DVI was supposed to replace VGA but you can still find VGA ports on computer monitors and projectors these days but DVI is less common.

    Infact, I have a Dell Monitor that can accept a 1080p resolution from VGA.

    Thunderbolt is limited to Apple computers these days. Apple will likely remove thunderbolt in favor for USB 4.0.

  3. That was one of the most concise and pedagogical presentations I’ve seen. No bullshit or empty talk only spect with facts. Many thanks.

    Amazing that new monitors have DP, HDMI and some still have VGA over DVI. DVI is about 12 years newer than VGA….weird.

    Great video! This kind of adapter is really convenient to solve the problem of conversion. Not long ago I bought a renhotecic brand adapter to convert video, it works very well and is very convenient. You can prepare one if you need it.

    Only the information I need to understand cable connector uses for myself as a consumer. I was totally in the dark and now I'm somewhat enlightened. Well explained thank you for putting this up!
    Don't run away . . . . . I may have to come back for a reminder.

    I have a question about daisy chaining Display ports. Is it a special cable that is used? ie, three display port connectors on a single cable? OR do the monitors have two display port connectors ( one in and one out to the next monitor in the chain ).
