HDMI vs DisplayPort vs DVI vs VGA - Simple Explanation

if you have a VGA but wanna run HDMI. Wont the adapter be a restriction?

Wow, DisplayPort has connected to my PC because Its monitor was really smooth and looked so realistic like iMac. So, I’ve never used it for 15 years.

Due to issues with mATX PCI shield clearance, new GPUs, and monitors from varying eras: There is only one DisplayPort cable, and HDMI cables just get blocked by this integrated metal tab on the top of the shield, so the other monitor is connected via a VGA port, that is in turn plugged into a VGA-HDMI adaptor, which is IN TURN plugged into a HDMI to DisplayPort adaptor. Everything is all mixed up, I have adaptors for my adaptors, for my adaptors here, it is a nightmare.

Typical millennium, give you pluses and minuses of all the cables then decline to name the winner coz they don't want to hurt feelings

D'Sub is the one I usually use

Note that if your monitor has speakers, HDMI can also transfer audio, unlike VGA.

What about AV/RCA

HDMI is bad, i never ever manage to make a HDMI monitor work right with my PC it doesn't even detect the screen at all. DVI and VGA are instantaneously detected and work perfectly.

my pc can do all of this at the same time

Wow your voice is amazing.

My 90's flatscreen tv has VGA and DVI ports, no HDMI. I wanted to connect it to my PC, which ONLY has HDMI, so I can watch Netflix in the living room. I bought a VGA adapter to plug in an HDMI cable from the computer. It works for playing DVD's but not good for internet signal, comes out very dark with black lines across the image. I probably should have bought an adapter for the DVI port instead...

the only good ones is A/V, RF, and HDMI

I’m watching this for my pc that I bought, and the monitor came today but not the computer 😔

the name's thunderbolt

i have 75hz monitor which i buy dp or hdmi?

Who narrated this video? Great job n informative. Thank you

VGA ROCKS

My laptop AND ALSO PC have vga and displayport no hdmi

Your channel need to be recognised 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️🔥

My ox only contains vga, should I add a hdmi adapter?

I occasionally use VGA backup, whenever I have a knucklehead issue with a new monitor or graphics card.

My series s has 2.0 hdmi

Can I maximize refresh rate if I have DVI-D(Dual Link) in my GPU to DP (monitor)? Given that I have a 144hz monitor

Problem:
I wanna have my PS4 and PC hooked up to the same monitor
but I dont have dvi and Im pretty sure my monitor doesnt support DP

I only have HDMI (Which will be for the ps4)
and a vga cable

nope i aint watching this. u are a girl....

So which one is better for gaming on pc? 🤣

The best ones are hdmi, usb type c, and display, the alright one is dvi, and the worst is vga, my graphics card has display 1.4 port, hdmi 2.0b port, dvi-d dual link port. I use all 3 of them so I can connect 3 monitors. All of my monitors came with a display 1.4 cable, one of them came with a vga cable and hdmi 2.0 cable, one of them came with a thunderbolt cable, usb to usb c cable, and the final one came with a usb to usb b cable.

HDMI vs DisplayPort

"GaMOOT"

so much for 'simple' explanation. Talking fast tech talk lost me near the beginning. Waste of time.

can I use an adapter to connect DVI to DP, my LCD Monitor has 1600 x 900 resolution with a 60-hertz Refresh rate, Please tell me this will not affect on the speed.

Can a monitor with an hdmi cable plug into a pc with a display port

What do u mean with dvi no Audio?
I use a res of 1280 by 720 with 80hz and hear normally

Cant decide if u are an 12 year old boy or a woman

Omg thank you so much i really needed this

My samsung monitor have 2 types of port which is vga and hdmi. Can i use both? Will it affect my pc? Please anyone can help me? I’m a newbie. Sorry for my broken English

DisplayPort > HDMI > DVI > VGA

dogshight vid

Uhh so the pc im getting has all of these. I'm going to get 3 monitors, the main one is 240hz and the other 2 monitors are the same monitors in 60hz, what do I do? Like what do I connect to what?

Would it be worth go to Display port from HDMI 2.0

what do you think ? vga ? or DVI ?

im on team analog

every monitor compnaies should include hdmi cable instead of vga.

So for 1080p 165Hz I should rather pick DP 1.2 or HDMI 1.4 ?

Hey so the pc I’m going to get has no display port but it has DVI-D and my monitor has D-sub and DVI-DL. My question is can I connect DVI-DL to my DVI-D(my pc)?

how about DVI-D?

I wonder, with all the disadvantages why vga still not obsolete?
