Before I begin my actual comment, I would like to apologize in advance for my inadequate level of English proficiency. I am not a native speaker of the world's current lingua franca which unfortunately leads to me making numerous embarrassing mistakes being made whenever I attempt to communicate using this language. Whenever I am reminded of how I lack the ability to convey my thoughts in an eloquent manner, I feel as though I have committed a cardinal sin, as though every English teacher in the world is simultaneously shaking their head and sighing due to how utterly disappointed they are at me. Although I know that saying sorry to those of you who are reading my comment will not change the fact that I fail miserably to write and speak perfect English, I am writing this as a way to deter a certain type of people who cannot stand poor English (Also known informally as Grammar Nazis) from mocking me by posting unwanted and unnecessary comments detailing my every blunder. In my humble opinion, making grammatical errors should be perfectly acceptable as native speakers should not expect non-native speakers to be able to communicate in their second or third languages eloquently. If you are able to completely understand what the other person wrote, is there really a problem with what they've written? No, because the entire concept of communication is the exchange of information between other intelligent beings, which means that no matter how the exchange of information is made, as long as the information is accurately shared there is not a fundamental issue with their ability to communicate. To see it in another way, remember that someone who isn't fluent in English is fluent in another language. When you think about it this way, isn't it impressive for someone to speak a second language in any capacity? Having empathy and respect are qualities that are sorely missing for far too many people these days, especially on the internet. That being said, I am aware that not all netizens who correct others are doing it to ridicule and shame. There are some who do so with the intent to help others improve and grow. However, displaying the failures of other people publicly will cause the person who is criticized to feel negative emotions such as shame and sadness due to the fact that their mistake has been made obvious which severely undermines the point they were trying to make in spite of their unfamiliarity with the English language. In most circumstances people are not looking for language help when they post anything online. Most people just want to enjoy themselves and have a good time on the internet which is why I would not encourage correcting other people regardless of your intentions. If you really do want to help others with their spelling or grammar, I would highly recommend you to help via messaging privately because not only will you not embarrass anyone, you can also go more in-depth with your explanation which I'm sure the other person will greatly appreciate if they want help, but I digress. I know that I've written a bit of an essay, but I hope I've made my points clear. Anyways, here is the comment I wanted to make: Facts

I think VGA got more updates. DVI was kind of a dead end and couldn't support much more data where VGA could be upgraded all the way to WUXGA. DVI required 2 cables be connected "dual link" to a graphics card to drive a 2k monitor but "VGA" could do it with just one cable. DVI sort of lives on through HDMI though since the original HDMI was basically DVI with a new connector. But VGA cables still work fine with any HD 15 pin dsub connector.

kiiverkk , at least HDMI carries 5Volt (low) power too, which can power an active signal booster extension cable without needing a separate wallwart.

7 years later, still a great resource. But a couple things to note: VGA was analogue because it was made for CRT, and thus old graphic cards were only VGA. Most LCD screens from the 90s only have VGA input because they were made to be compatible with these VGA only cards, but using an analogue signal for a digital display makes the image blurry, so for these old monitors you need the shortest and highest quality cable possible in order to get the best image quality. Also worth keeping in mind that the even older EGA (as well as CGA and the standards before it) was digital and CRTs had digital-analogue converters in the monitor input, so those monitors are only compatible with EGA, and not anything newer. Despite being digital, EGA is not directly compatible with modern monitors and must be processed during the conversion. Can't just stick a DVI connector to the end of an EGA cable On cards with VGA and DVI, the DVI is fed directly from the GPU, while the digital-analogue converter for VGA is hooked into this datastream. This was the only way they could make cards have both digital and analogue output. With more modern digital-only cards, it's much easier to have different output options, and it's normal for cards to have DVI, DP, and HDMI ports (it varies with model whether you still get DVI), although you usually can't use them all at once. Typically some of them share channel, but really depends on your card.

Very good video, but especially for gaming, it would have been interesting which format can output higher frequencies like 120Hz or 144Hz

Still interesting 8 years on. I used VGA today for some 2nd hand computers that I bought in 2020. My main computer uses HDMI. Currently on 1080p monitors but would like to got to a 4K one, but they are expensive. 2:04am NZST 16 April 2022

My XFX Radeon 7970 is pushing a sharp VGA signal through a DVI to VGA adapter to my 24" flatscreen...then again, I am running a 1920x1080 60hz video signal obviously, and this 7970 is not the strongest video card of today but is more than powerful enough to push a strong VGA signal through to the monitor.

I think the most cool feature about DisplayPort that he hasn't talked about is the fact that you can daisy chain multiple monitor (like 5 or so depending on the resolution) over one port on the graphics card

I work in school tech support. We have a mixture of VGA, HDMI, DisplayPort, and DVI throughout our schools. It is annoying at times. One classroom can have a new SMART IFP (fancy way of saying large touch screen) connected to the teacher's laptop via HDMI and the room next door can have a 10 year old projector on its last leg that is running on a CAT 5 to VGA extender. And the teacher's laptop has a DisplayPort to VGA adapter and a VGA cable linking that to the CAT5 to VGA extender sender unit. Its a mess. We are trying hard to standardize our classrooms to only use HDMI, but it has been proving quite difficult.

my trade school class not only still uses vga for the projector but the projector itself is full of lies (it can take in 1920x1080 but the digital screen is only 1024x768 so it has to downscale 1920x1080 to 1024x576 and it looks like crap)

10 years later, and this is still helpful

can you explain why HDMI from my gaming PC looks crap on a LED tv while Vga (from the DVI port on the gpu using an adapter to vga) looks alot better in 1080p (at leaast 1080p is what my tv says the resolution is)

TV's often don't like to connect via HDMI to PC's. I'm guessing your TV has a dedicated "PC" mode. More than likely, you have something called overscan turned on in your TV. This attempts to clear up images by estimating and adding pixels and usually looks pretty good for a TV, but on a PC you want a 1:1 pixel ratio. If your TV is high end enough, it may have an option to disable this "feature" and that should clear your image up. If it doesn't however you will need to connect your PC with another connector or find a new monitor. I have the same issue currently and that is why my TV is connected with VGA while my second monitor uses HDMI.

USB 3.1 Gen 1 only supports up to 9W of PD and has half the bandwidth of HDMI 1.4 - while Gen 2 does support up to 100W PD but still has less bandwidth than HDMI 1.4 - best advancement of display ports in recent times would definitely be Thunderbolt 3 (same connector, totally different internal wiring) that debuted in Late 2016 iirc?

I remember seeing DP to HDMI on a school computer and I thought DP was an OLD connector. I remembered that day from this video

It's really a shame that HDMI's CEC hasn't been implemented in a lot of graphics cards and computers. Would help keep power consumption low if computers sent a sleep signal to the monitor on shutdown and sleep, and maybe even vice-versa.

Awesome work, I was starting to freak out. Thanks

DVI master race. Why would you get HDMI for gaming on a 1080p 60 hz panel? DVI also has a cable that you cannot pull out by accident where as HDMI has no lock meganism. The advantage of HDMI would be that it carries audio, but who wants to use the crappy build in speakers? Not the mention the limited color range with HDMI you need to change and wierd driver issues concering both AMD and Nvidia. My friend got black bars around his screen using HDMI and DVI just worked. DVI was build from the ground up to be a PC monitor standard and is still a very good option. Dual link can even do 1080p 144hz and no confusing version numbers!

A tv is a tv depending what you have name brand does matter on gaming. I hear LG TV's are pretty damn nice when it comes to gaming. I would have to say that having a monitor that supports displayport connection along with a video card it will increase your gaming experience. As a reminder 4k TV's via HDMI can only handle 30hz at the momment. That is no where near the motion you want when it comes to gaming. My monitor does 144hz and yes I can tell when its 60hz, 30hz, and a 144hz. HDMI is okay and depending what version of HDMI cable you have you can tell a difference. Gaming monitors and available at a fair price now look for one with a displayport connection.

Thank you for the Video! Very informative. Take Care

thumbs up perfectly explained actually the only one that did and ive watched about 10 vids so far . i either nodded off being so bored or suffered to the end of very long tutorials leading to nothing . the guy i bought my pc from called them monitor cables now finding out that he meant display port . frustrating as hell when trying to find compatible screens for pc . new to this and i have 5 screens and 1 pc love the whole multi screen thing since lock down means i can research on home renovation project "work", zoom to elderly mom keeping her company, watch tv shows mess about on line . learn about computers thanks Linus now all i have to figure out is do these signals work both ways .. im guessing not always i bought a male end vga cable with a male end hdmi doesnt work

Oh, god, that quick potato that changes to a console.. Never change, Linus !
