Video connector type

VGA ports are old technology. Avoid if possible.

If your graphic card and your monitor use different types of ports, usually there is a possibility to buy a cheap adaptor, but not always.

If your monitor is VGA, you can find an adaptor to DVI-I or DVI-A to VGA, but not from DVI-D to VGA.
