A technician needs to connect an older LCD monitor that only accepts analog signals to a desktop computer's video card. Which connector type should the technician choose to provide the MOST appropriate analog video connection between the computer and the monitor?
VGA, short for Video Graphics Array, transmits red, green, blue, and sync information as separate low-voltage analog waveforms and was the de-facto PC display connector for many years. HDMI, DisplayPort, and its Mini DisplayPort variation transmit video as packetized digital data. Although active adapters can convert between standards, only the 15-pin VGA connector natively carries an analog signal, making it the best direct choice when an analog-only monitor must be attached.
