VGA port

Analog display connector

A VGA port is the connection point for a VGA cable, the blue trapezoidal socket with fifteen pin holes arranged in three rows found on older monitors, projectors, and computers.

VGA ports carried analog video signals and were standard on PCs from the late 1980s until digital connections like HDMI and DisplayPort largely replaced them.
