@hideki Shouldn’t HDMI be dead as well? It can’t properly handle 4k without two cables, while DP easily does it.
@waltercool real men use RF modulation
me? i used to play everything up to and including PS2 with a composite cable on a shitty CRT
Sadly, the tv burned in early 2010s and I switched to a PCI capture card since.
but do i want to return to it? heck no, flatscreen CRTs are awesome and a good one will have barely any distortion
@hideki
There's a new 6502 computer being built for VGA because it's simpler to transmit than the newer protocols.
Commander X16
It's the Unix of display outputs.
Dreamcast~
@hideki Why would it be dead?
@shitpisscum i guess most people would expect for vga to go the way of the PS/2 and the parallel
@hideki It's the "it's there so why change it" situation. Imagine a school or something, each classroom has a VGA projector. Now imagine a teacher got a new laptop without VGA port. Would you replace all the projectors or just get them one of those cheap HDMI to VGA adapters? Now a projector dies. You get a new one, it has HDMI as well as VGA. There's a VGA cable already installed. Are you gonna run a new HDMI cable or just plug the existing VGA in? 1/2
@hideki Eventually you have a bunch of HDMI projectors and laptops but they use adapters to communicate over VGA. It all works, so why change it.
@hideki because University projectors!
It's on a test setup that I use to test Linux currently and the nVidia GPU had driver problems, so I had to switch to the iGPU from Intel (the mainboard is from 2011).
