The year is 2045. My grandson runs up to me with a handful of black cords
"Poppy, you know computers, right? I need to connect my Jongo 64k display, but it has CFONG-K6 port, and my Pimble box only has a Holoweave port, have you got an adapter?"
Sadly I sift through the strange cords without a shred of recognition. Truly my time on this mortal coil is coming to a wrap
Don't worry, maybe they misjudged the size of the asteroid and 2032 is it.
Cool, I won't have to update my date formats.
Honestly, that'd be kinda sick. Imagine seeing the wall of fire, coming to cleanse the Earth once again. Hopefully the next ones to inherit it don't fuck it up as bad as we did.
Kinda already happening with usbc
USB-C uses the DisplayPort protocol in many cases.
Yeah but in the context of physical connector that doesn't matter, you can really run almost all protocols over almost any connector if you want to (no bitrate guarantees)
Remember DVI?
Hell, remember dot-matrix printer terminals?
VGA and DVI honestly were both killed off way too soon. Both will perfectly drive a 1080p 60fps display and honestly the only reason to use HDMI or Displayport with such a display is if that matches your graphics output
The biggest shame is that DVI didn't take off with its dual monitor features or USB features. Seriously there was a DVI Dual Link with USB spec so you could legitimately use a single cable with screws to prevent accidental disconnects to connect your computer to all of your office peripherals, but instead we had to wait for Thunderbolt to recreate those features but worse and more likely to drop out
DVI -- sure, but if you think 1080p over VGI looks perfect you should probably get your eyes checked.
I wouldn't be surprised if it varies by monitor but I've encountered plenty of monitors professionally where I could not tell the difference between the VGA or HDMI input, but I can absolutely tell when a user had one of the cheap adapters in the mix and generally make a point of trying to get those adapters out of production as much as possible because not only do they noticably fuck with the signal (most users don't care but I can see it at least) but they also tend to fail and create unnecessary service calls
We are still using VGA on current gen installations for the primary display on the most expensive patient monitoring system products in the world. If there's a second display it gets displayport. 1080p is still the max resolution.
Remember? I still use it for my second monitor. My first interaction with DVI was also on that monitor, probably 10-15 years ago at this point. Going from VGA to DVI-D made everything much clearer and sharper. I keep using this setup because the monitor has a great stand and doesn't take up much space with its 4:3 aspect ratio. 1280x1024 is honestly fine for having voice chat, Spotify, or some documentation open.
Hell yeah. My secondary monitor is a 1080p120 shitty TN panel from 2011. I remember the original stand had a big “3D” logo because remember those NVIDIA shutter glasses?
Connecting it is a big sturdy DVI-D cable that, come to think of it, is older than my child, my cars, and any of my pets.
Remember it? I work on PCs with DVI connected monitors every day.
Hell, I still use VGA for my work computer. I have the display port connected to the gaming laptop, and VGA connected to the work CPU. (My monitors are old, and I don't care)
My monitors are old, and I don't care
Sung to the tune of Jimmy crack corn.
My monitor is 16 years old (1080p and that's enough for me), I can use dvi or HDMI. The HDMI input is not great when using a computer with that specific model.
So I've been using DVI for 16 years.
I mean, it could... but if you run the math on a 4k vs an 8k monitor, you'll find that for most common monitor and tv sizes, and the distance you're sitting from them...
It basically doesn't actually make any literally perceptible difference.
Human eyes have ... the equivalent of a maximum resolution, a maximum angular resolution.
You'd have to have literally superhuman vision to be able to notice a difference in almost all space scenarios that don't involve you owning a penthouse or mansion, it really only makes sense if you literally have a TV the size of an entire wall of a studio apartment, or use it for like a Tokyo / Times Square style giant building wall advertisement, or completely replace projection theatres with gigantic active screens.
This doesn't have 8k on it, but basically, buying an 8k monitor that you use at a desk is literally completely pointless unless your face is less than a foot away from it, and it only makes sense for like a TV in a living room if said TV is ... like ... 15+ feet wide, 7+ feet tall.
Yes. This. Resolution is already high enough for everything, expect maybe wearables (i.e. VR goggles).
HDMI 2.1 can already handle 8k 10-bit color at 60Hz and 2.2 can do 240Hz.
Commercial digital cinema projectors aren’t even 8K. And movies look sharper then ever. Only 70mm IMAX looks better and that’s equivalent of 8K to 12K but IMAX screens (the real ones not digital LieMAX) are gigantic.
Also screen technology has advanced faster than the rest of the pipeline. Making a movie in a full 8K pipeline would be way too expensive. It’s only since recent years that studios upgraded to a complete 4K pipeline from camera to final rendered out image including every step in between. And that’s mostly because Netflix forced studios to do so.
True native non upscaled 8K content won’t be here for a long while.
DVI is the Gen X of video connectors

It's a woke poster. /$
VGA was just analog, it wasn't because the resolutions supported weren't HD.
100% right. I know it can handle 1920x1080 @ 60hz and it can handle up to 2048x1536
I remember my buddy getting a whole bunch of viewsonic CRTs from his dad who worked at a professional animation studio. They could do up to 2048×1536 and they looked amazing, but were heavy as fuck for lan parties lol. I loved that monitor though, when i finally 'upgraded' to an lcd screen it felt like a downgrade in alot of ways except desk real estate.
ViewSonics were the BEST
Trinitron was better because it was flat.
Sony just used to make good quality electronics, in general.
...ish
The meaning of high Res wasn't changed though also VGA was able to output Full HD as well.
It already happened to them multiple times that's why we are on HDMI 2.2 which can go up to:
7680 × 4320 @ 60FPS
HDMI 1.0 could only reach:
1920 x 1080 @ 60FPS
The only reason it still works is because they keep changing the specifications.
And I think I can confidently say we will never need more than 8K since we are reaching the physical limits of the human eye or at the very least it will never be considered low resolution.
