VGA and DVI Ports To Be Phased Out Over Next 5 Years

Posted by Soulskill on from the think-of-the-connectors dept.

angry tapir writes "Legacy VGA and DVI display ports are likely to be phased out in PCs over the next five years, according to a study by NPD In-Stat. Intel and Advanced Micro Devices are ending chipset support for VGA by 2015. The VGA interface was originally introduced in 1986 and DVI was introduced in 1999."

    So long, DVI... I never knew ya. I've never hooked up, or to my knowledge even used a monitor that was connected via DVI, and now it's being phased out.

    It'd be nice if the summary mentioned what they'd be replaced with.

    "VGA is the only common connection supported by the projectors in most OUT OF DATE conference rooms."

    Fixed that for you.

    If your conference room does not have HDMI, then it needs to be updated. if you bought a conference room upgrade in the past 2 years and it only has VGA, it was installed by or designed by a moron.
