CABLES AND CONNECTORS

VGA cables and connectors

Video Graphics Array (VGA) is an analog interface designed for use
with high-resolution monitors and computers. VGA connectors are
commonly found on older computers, though the connection is still
widely used.
NOTE
Although a VGA connection can support up to 1080p with the right source device, this is not
l
recommended. This use pushes the VGA standard to its upper limit. Unless both the cable
and source device are of the highest quality, degradation in video quality is likely.
VGA is a video-only connection. If you need a setup to include audio and other data (such
l
as touch), you'll need to use other connection types that support those types of data.
Using low-quality, passive (non-powered) VGA cables can result in an unfocused image, ghosting,
noise, rolling lines and other adverse effects.
