A standard VGA connector is a 15-pin, three-row DE-15 (often called HD-15) D-sub connector. It has a trapezoidal metal shell, is usually colored blue, is secured with thumbscrews, and carries only analog video signals-no audio. DVI, HDMI, USB-C, and Mini-DisplayPort connectors differ in pin count, shape, and their ability to carry digital video and/or audio.
