Talk:List of video connectors

message: The newest Nvidia RTX cards contain an usb c connector sending video data over something called NVLink (not to be confused with Nvidia's NVLink bride connecting 2 of those same graphics cards together).
Separate from that, this connector also support a video (Displayport/HDMI) alternate mode, but if I'm correctly, the Usb C is only compatible with USB-c 3 and not 2, because of updated databus.
This port is dedicated to VR headsets and may support 8K, but I'm not sure.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kevincrans (talk • contribs) 06:44, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

message: While the C64 (and other Commodore computers) can do video in components similar to S-video, it uses separate RCA plugs for this and not the 4 pin mini-DIN connector. (2007-09-03 66.57.252.144)
:I have concentrated on the electrical aspect of things. A C64 -> S-Video adapter cable shouldn't be that hard to accomplish. And for many other applications it's mechanicaly compatible aswell. Electron9 (talk) 16:06, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

message: What is the basis for the max resolution column? For example, in the table VGA has a maximum resolution of 1280 x 1024 @ 60. There are plenty of resolutions higher than that available via the VGA interface. Wikipedia XP 21:51, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The maximum resolution possible constrained by the cable, signaling scheme, etc.. Electron9 (talk) 16:06, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

text: Of course, none of these high resolutions are actually 'VGA': that was a specific standard which I can't even remember. The higher resolutions were called 'super VGA' when they first came out, and then 'VGA' when the actual 'VGA' moniters were no longer for sale.203.206.162.148 (talk) 01:57, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

message: I think that the original IBM VGA and the VESA VGA (1995) are two different interface. The video channels are the same, but VESA introduced DDC and eliminate monitor-ID permitting PnP. What do you think about?

replies: text: The discussion under VGA: Max resolution applies to 13W3 as well.  A Sony GDM-FW900 would happily do 2304x1440@75Hz, over 13W3. 13W3 was pretty much SVGA with coax for the color signals. 207.172.210.101 (talk) 01:02, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

message: It says that YPbPr is often called YUV. This isn't true, afaik. It's quite similar, and the concept is the same; one signal for luminance and two for chrominance as a vector in the color space. And the signals is partly interchangeable, but will result in some color difference.
According to:  (reference from YPbPr, the conversation matrix is quite similar, but not entirely. The difference is something like how to model the color space. As I recall, one defines the luminance signal as the sum of the power in each color, the other defines luminance as how bright a regular eye would see the color.
And those should not be confused with YCbCr, which is quite similar representation, but with another mapping matrix, but is a digital representation, and therefore not a connector. Even though many digital protocol actually uses  YCbCr...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pengi (talk • contribs) 12:44, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

message: There have been chips since 2007 from DisplayLink (not to be confused with DisplayPort which was also 'born' in 2007 by coincidence), which permit the connection of a display to your laptop solely via the USB port.  Typical products that make use of this approach come in the form of an external converter-box, with a usb port on one end, and a more-traditional sort of video connector on the other end:  there are usb-to-vga, usb-to-dvi, usb-to-displayport, and usb-to-hdmi boxes, that I know of at least.  However, you can also buy monitors nowadays which have the DisplayLink chip internally, so effectively you hook the monitor right into the USB port on your PC, and start displaying video.  74.192.84.101 (talk) 22:59, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suggest adding USB to this list as a video connector 

message: Here's yet another video connector. http://www.flickr.com/photos/27748767@N08/sets/72157635419601562/ I thought it was DFP so I bought a DVI to DFP adapter. Nope! It's similar to but wider than DFP. The monitor is a Type 4820 for a Point Of Sale system. Also note connector 4. It appears to be a modified RJ45. There's four large sliding contacts, two top, two bottom. I assume for the two USB ports to the left. In the back end of the socket is a 6 pin 0.1" header connector, no idea what that's for.

message: Please read Computer terminal and computer history, as well as about X Terminals MUCH MORE THOROUGHLY before making comments like Computer Terminal is TTY only.  Absolutely NOT.
There were hundreds of various models of mainframe/home Terminals, or "terms".  Some did text, some text and graphics, some vector graphics as well (some only vector that did text, some overlayed both).
Computer Terminals are monitors with video cards hanging on the back of the glass tube (when those were still used), MOST commonly fed by Serial connection.
The difference: where is the video card?  In the monitor, or in the "PC".
Also by your own rule: USB connecting monitors displaying only text cannot be listed under "connectors": because they are serial and displaying only text.

message: How about we refactor this page? It's *really* useful to figure out what is what in video connectors, but there's some really old stuff in there that people are less and less likely to find. It may be useful to start with a simple comparison between popular cables. I'm thinking HDMI, DVI, VGA and Mini-DP, basically. Or, in other words, sort by commonality instead of underlying technology. Because right now, all  new connectors end up in "Other" and that's weird. Maybe we could have a region-based popularity grouping? Say "worldwide common", "discontinued", then if necessary "common in Japan/Europe/Canada/whatever". It's certainly weird to see the old SCART connector listed in the same section as the Mini-DisplayPort connector. :p --TheAnarcat (talk) 15:11, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
