Lots of (very, very expensive) projectors still use it, and a good VGA cable will work well beyond 1080p resolutions, so why not.

The connector is also more robust than the effete HDMI/DisplayPort/etc. ones that have tiny pins, purely by being bigger.




Lots of old equipment a system administrator might work with also uses VGA.


My kingdom for the VGA port having an input mode!

A friend of mine has built a little raspberry-pi-laptop with an internal HDMI switch and a USB device-sharing gizmo, so he can use it as a portable KVM for sysadmin tasks. I wish that was more common!


I have spent a good amount of time working with 10 and 12k DLP projectors and they all support HDMI just fine.


So, "I have seen the examples of opposite, so what you're saying is never true"?
