Display Ports & Display Sharing for Tech+
Short answer
Display connectors carry video (and sometimes audio). Common display connectors - VGA: older analog video connector; legacy monitors/projectors. - DVI: older digital video connector; legacy monitors. - HDMI: very common modern consumer video/audio connector (TVs, monitors). - DisplayPort (DP): common on many PCs/monitors; often used in computer displays. - USB-C: on many modern laptops/phones; can carry video on some devices. Tech+ level comparison - VGA is the most "legacy/older" in general. - HDMI and DisplayPort are modern and common. - USB-C may support video, but it depends on the device.
