I mean VGA is good for 1080p 60fps which honestly is a plenty high resolution even today. Sure you can get higher resolution and you can get higher refresh rates, but for a ~20" panel 1080p/60 is a sweet spot and you can get some really good panels for pretty cheap these days at 1080p/60

VGA stands for “vestigial garbage adapter” after all.

Oh I was just joking about this janky adapter. It worked great paired with a CRT.

Ouch, I just assumed it was the serial port and didn’t even look how it’s reversed. There must be all kinds of fun things you can do by hand-writing VGA data.

The VGA connector is actually reversible! Once. given enough force. It also doesn’t actually work properly when installed upside down.

Well, by “reversed” I meant that the cable has pins, and the computer has slots, what is the inverse of serial. Not that it’s upside down.
You can’t plug a serial cable in it and make it work, no matter how much force you apply. You can probably do the opposite, and plug a VGA cable on the serial port with the exact right amount of force, though.

All connectors are compatible given enough violence.
