It got pretty simple for a while when old serial & parallel ports were phased out in favor of USB. Also VGA worked for a very long time even after DVI and HDMI appeared on the scene.
(I never had as much trouble with connecting displays as I do today)
- pdpi 5y agoDVI was something special, though. The fun of DVI-A vs DVI-D vs DVI-I, then single vs double link.
- dec0dedab0de 5y agoEspecially since it was an HDMI video signal anyway. I never understood why it even existed Edit: Ahh I didn't realize DVI was first, that makes more sense. I just remembered getting a DVI motherboard, and an HDMI TV around the same time.
- ziml77 5y agoThat's incorrect. It was HDMI that carried a DVI signal.
- theandrewbailey 5y agoDVI was first by a few years. HDMI expanded on DVI-D and added more features.
- NikolaNovak 5y agoOh gawd yes. Monitors and video cards and laptops all seem to come with different combinations of audio and video ports and I am enough kinds of geek already - I don't Want to be a/v geek.
