Goodbye consumer.

My laptop doesn't have that, but if I worked in a corporate office or at a school I'd most likely have to use one with a VGA port. Do you know how expensive it would be for companies to change out every single projector to HDMI?

Why would you even get upset about other people using this? VGA can support up to 1400p as well

Jokes on you my 980ti can output vga.

>>58488568
I specifically bought a new laptop that had a VGA port because I have to do a lot of presentations and not everyone has bothered to upgrade projectors. I'd say 6 out of 10 times I'm using the VGA port rather than the HDMI port.

>>58488568
But my monitor only uses that port

>>58488821
It is useful if, like me, one of your old monitors that you still use requires it. Too cheap to buy a new monitor, so I use DP, DVI and VGA all at once for different monitors. Same is true for older projectors that will likely be around for at least another 10 years.

Do people really not know what this word means?

>>58489053
Using adapters is not always possible. There isn't always room for one, and they tend to be difficult to install due to being cheaply built; assuming they fit at all. The one I'm using doesn't screw in on both sides because it's shit, and is too small to screw in fully on the side that does. A larger one wouldn't fit in space available.

VGA ports are also smaller than DVI, so you can fit more ports of a different type in the same space, which is important on laptops.

VGA port is essentially the ISA slot of the modern era: old, out dated, ubiquitous, and just won't die.

It really won't go peacefully into the night until the entire industry settled on a new port. That means they will have to settle on a new standard and stop dicking around with patents and other money grab bullshit.

what do you need the VGA port, genius. pls do tell us. I tend to agree that VGA is pointless today and that the space on mobo is better served with an extra DP/HDMP or even an extra USB3 port.

pic related... this port is even more useless that even the VGA port! no one even makes mice with that antiquated port anymore. keyboards too.

>>58489228
There's still new keyboards that uses it because it still has advantages over USB. Mice aren't however, but that's why most computers with PS/2-ports have a combined one instead of two.

>>58489228
The overly clicky keyboard I am currently typing on is enough to validate ps/2 ports still being included on any computer I buy.

most things does not have a 4k display.
Hardware ports should not be changed very often and you need a very long overlap before removing the old one.
People who develop new ports are usually idiots who doesn't know how to test stuff and this is why we get so bad ports.
hdmi is a fucking joke.
The protocol is terrible, the ports are way too big and it doesn't provide power.
I haven't looked at the DP protocol, but the mini DP seems to be acceptable in terms of size.
But usb-c seems to be fast enough to be used for displays and it is smaller and more universal.
But usb-c is fairly new, so making this the new standard will also take time.

Developing these standards should be done in labs, not through consumer electronics.
Our university has fairly new equipment, but their projectors only accept vga, hdmi and display port.
It means that most people can plugin the projector, but some (mostly mac users) have to use dongles.
And I would rather use an old port and a "low" resolution if it means I do not have to use a fucking dongle like those pleb mac users.

USB C and Thunderbolt share a port now, it can definitely handle displays.

Pretty sure you can even get USB 2.0 displays, I'd be surprised if there weren't USB C displays

>>58502303
Well Thunderbolt 3 and all that is carried over USB-C, so that would make sense.

>>58502453
We've already established this, we're talking about non-Thunderbolt.

>the ports are way too big
>HDMI

I've never even heard of an HDMI port or plug breaking. These tiny ports are both more difficult to plug in properly (except reversible ones) without visibility of the port, and are also more vulnerable to damage. There is such a thing as being too small, just as there is being too large. DVI is too large, but HDMI is not.

Personally, I don't see the point of supplying power over a display cable. Powering displays off the computer is a bad idea for anyone using more than one with a UPS.

You guys are morons. I used a VGA port on an ancient PC and a 1080p 27'' monitor looks great. I used a 32bit version of Windows 10 and it runs fine (binaries are much smaller).

those people are dinosaurs. percentage of people who use PS/2 keyboards is less than 0.0001%. why the fuck should the rest of us pay for a port that we don't use? you fuckers should buy expensive mobos with that port.

>>58503702
There are legitimate uses. Security and needing NKRO, for example.

>>58503747
>There are legitimate uses. Security and needing NKRO, for example.
I'm not claiming there's no legit uses. I'm saying that 99% of buyers of these mobos, your average Joe Blows, don't need that shit at all. It's totally a waste of resources, waste of plastic and a waste of money.

If people need that antiquated port, they should buy special mobos with them on it or get some kind of a card to plug in.

>>58503829
>they should buy special mobos with them on it

Make up your mind.

>>58504284
All I'm saying is that I don't wanna pay for antiquated shit I have no use for. 99% of people don't have use for that shit either.

>>58504475
And all I'm saying is that there are plenty of motherboards without PS/2 ports. If your motherboard has one and you don't need it, it's your own damned fault.

Sounds like it's time to Crossfire/SLI the best GPUs that support DVI-I then run that alongside a new GPU with a new monitor when that setup can no longer handle gaymes, at least that's what I'd do.

what shitty equipment are people buying where HDCP doesn't work properly?

I avoid DRM media but my family doesn't, and HDCP works fine from the cable box to the TV via a receiver, same for blu-rays. Worst that happens is when you switch between TV speakers & home theatre speakers via HDMI-ARC, the video conks out for a bit waiting for HDCP.

Maybe because integrating a PS/2 port onto a motherboard costs so god-damn little, it's such an absolute minuscule cost, that several groups of smart college-educated people with professional experience all decided that it would be a good idea just to chuck it in there if you've got the space for it.

But no, OP, that can't be it. You must be right.

My laptop has VGA and HDMI and runs overwatch at 60+fps.

Kill yourself slowly, faggot.

My laptop came with a VGA and HDMI port. The VGA port is still there because PROJECTORS DON'T ACCEPT ANYTHING ELSE.

I love the fact that my next laptop will still have a VGA port. Hell it's even got a Blu-ray drive and it's a netbook.

Aren't there cables with DVI in one end and DisplayPort in the other?

>>58512815
That won't help his issue at all. He doesn't need DVI, he needs a DVI port that also supports VGA, which is basically nonexistent now.

>>58488568
DVI is more outdated than VGA.

Having a native VGA port is pretty nice, since it allows you to connect to every legacy device out there. And business don't throw out perfectly functioning projectors and similar just because there's a newer model out. They're in the business of making money, not posting desktop threads on /g/.

The Apple Solution is actually pretty good here though: Displayport can pretend to be VGA, so you only need a passive converter. This is good, because now I can have a bunch of dongles and connect to VGA, DVI-ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP or whatever bullshit they came up with before HDMI and DP fixed that mess, HDMI and DP.

So VGA is actually better than DVI. If you see that blue connector, you know it will work. You have no such guarantee with a white connector, you just have to hope it's the one that you have a connector for.

Fuck DVI. Fuck it right in the pussy.

>>58512815
Yes, but... why bother? You have DP on your end, and the other end is guaranteed to have VGA. So why bother with DVI-dongles? You can get them, and DP lets you get away with passive converters because it's a good enterprise standard, but... Why would you want one, when VGA gets you the same thing?

>>58488970
That depends entirely on what type of DVI it is.
Like, I get that this is a bait thread, but every single fucking time someone posts anything in defense of DVI, the ghost of fucking Harambe rustles my Jimmies.

all my monitors are VGA

It comes with every motherboard that is not shit

VGA, unless your monitor supports resolutions higher than 1080p
