daggermoonAm I in the minority of people who never used VGA?
uniquethrowagayI used VGA up until maybe 2012, 2013. Even longer at my job.
What did you use then? I remember cheap monitors in the early 00s ONLY having VGA. By the time I’d moved on, HDMI was so ubiquitous, I skipped DVI instead.
If you were rich enough, could have only used displays with RGB-BNC.
Or maybe they’re kinda crazy and used Component video with a TV screen. (Or composite…)
Or maybe they’re just not that old.
I’ve never even heard of video over BNC, and my searches turn up SCART adapters, so I’m guessing it was a British thing?
I think we were talking about computer monitors, not televisions.
BNC connections were used on professional level video equipment, if you were rich enough, you could get an extremely high quality computer monitor and video card that used those.
Older computers, especially early home computers sometimes just had composite connectors to a TV. Older computer monitors often had a composite input, but SCART was also an option.
Higher end computer monitors sometimes had similar inputs to early HDTVs, there’s a lot of crossover.
Well there you go, I’m not a professional anything except idiot. I’d never heard of that! Cool.
Very legitimate possiblity OP was born in the early 00’s
ZozanoCheap monitors at Walmart still typically have VGA available. Guess someone who’s buying a monitor at Walmart is a bit of a special case though.
Emphasis on Minor I guess
The only time I’ve encountered VGA was my first year as an intern when my office had given me a flat screen monitor that frequently gave me migraines. Thing had to be older than me. That was 7 years ago.
If I encountered it before that, I wasn’t aware of it because I was a child and wasn’t responsible for plugging in the monitors I was using.
