I think I have seen as many VGA cables as I did HDMI ones. I also have seen many people using adapters for the two standards. So I think they are still very common.
It’s how we connected monitors to our PCs. Before I had DVI I used that to connect my desktop to my monitor. My old laptop had that port but now they have HDMI, adding audio and some other features I never use.
Can someone explain what is this to people born in this century.
It’s a VGA connector, used for screens. You can still find them if you look hard enough.
Any box of cords in any basement, attic, or thrift store
Cords. A box of chords would be a radio, or a box of sheet music.
aight
I’ve heard there was a secret cord that david pulled and it pleased the lhord
Had some VGA cords stored away for almost 20 years now “just in case one day I need them”
Didn’t some camcorders have a VGA output? Think that’s why I kept them
Probably, but most i’ve seen are AV. I still use an old SUN monitor, so VGA is alive and well here

It’s basically an analog version of an HDMI cable. Except no audio, only video.
It’s like the yellow RCA cable, but for computer monitors instead of TVs
Except it transmitted several times the resolution of an RCA cable
Yeah, I just meant for explaining the function of what the thing does.
It’s a security cable so no one will steal your computer because a 65 lb monitor is friggin stuck to it.

Just to tag along, the VGA signal is analog where DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort are digital
DVI had an analog variant as well. I’m obligated to say this because that cable compatibility confused the shit out of me at least once.
You had to check for pins above and below the wide “dash” shaped pin to know if it supported analog.
