VGA (Video Graphics Array) - A VGA port or cable uses an analog 15-pin connector. While VGA can technically output Full HD (1920 x 1080), its weakness is that it’s an analog connection. So as the resolution increases, you will notice a decrease in image quality as the signal is converted from analog to digital.
DVI (Digital Visual interface) - Another common connection port included in computer monitors. It is very similar to that of an HDMI port with one exception, it generally does not transmit audio. Single-Link DVI supports up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz while Dual-Link DVI supports up to 2560 x 1600 @ 60 Hz.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) - HDMI ports and cables allow you to transmit audio as well as video. HDMI connections also reduce the amount of cables and clutter.
- HDMI 1.2 - capable of 1920 x 1200p @ 60Hz
- HDMI 1.3 - capable of 2560 x 1600p @ 60Hz
- HDMI 1.4 - capable of 4096 x 2160p (4K Resolution) @ 30Hz
- HDMI 2.0 - capable of 4096 x 2160p (4K Resolution) @ 60Hz
DisplayPort - As DisplayPorts allow the transfer of more information per second, they are a great choice for audio/visual connections.
- DisplayPort 1.2 - capable of 3840 x 2160 (4K Resolution) @ 60 Hz
- DisplayPort 1.3 - capable of 7680 x 4320 (8K Resolution) @ 30Hz; or 4K @ 120Hz
- DisplayPort 1.4 - capable of 7680 x 4320 (8K Resolution) @ 60Hz; or 4K @ 120Hz
