VGA connector

Analog display plug

A VGA connector is the standard port for analog video signals on computers and monitors, recognizable by its trapezoidal shape and fifteen pins arranged in three rows.

VGA stands for Video Graphics Array.

Though largely superseded by digital connections like HDMI and DisplayPort, VGA connectors remain common on older equipment and projectors.
