    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.

  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.

    Cheap 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.

  I used VGA up until maybe 2012, 2013. Even longer at my job.

    Thats cute. There are so, so many machines that have vga still in my field.

    Basically every hmi panel in existence use vga still. And password-less vnc.

  I remember when CGA and EGA were normal and then this fancy new VGA came out but only on fancy high end computers and monitors.

  VGA was still very common around 20 years ago.

  It used to be that a monitor was fancy if it had DVI and really fancy if it had HDMI
