VGA (Video Graphics Array) originally referred to the specific display hardware for IBM computers in the 1980s. However, now it has come to mean any cable or port with a VGA connector. The 15-pin connection on a VGA cable can transfer a variety of analog video signals (SVGA, XGA, UXGA, etc.) and it is still commonly used in most computer-to-monitor connections. In addition, you will find VGA ports on many newer televisions so you can connect your computer to your HDTV and show pictures, video and more to your friends and family on a large screen.

VGA Connector:

Video Graphics Array (VGA) connector is a three-row 15-pin DE-15 connector. The 15-pin VGA connector is found on many video cards, computer monitors, and high definition television sets. On laptop computers or other small devices, a mini-VGA port is sometimes used in place of the full-sized VGA connector.
