VGA port
Thanks that meant me! My notebook is already 5 years old.
Do these also have more recent notebooks?
Or is then another newer jack provided for this?
Currently HDMI is always used, the analog VGA socket is usually no longer installed.
Currently there's HDMI
More up-to-date notebooks are more thin and lightweight. It might not help to look in a shop. Search best online at Notbook with VGA connection. A few should still find.
Meanwhile, HDMI is also used rather than VGA
Is there a switch from HDMI to VGA so that I can still use the old monitor?

Have the newer in the business, for example, still. Currently, however, rather on HDMI and DisplayPort is used.
Yes there's. Google just "hdmi to vga adapter"
Thank you!
Yes, just look for an HDMI to VGA adapter.
Were faster
Of course, you just have to look around on Amazon or Mediamarkt or any other market, that's no problem. (
For current notebooks, there's usually an HDMI port and often a DisplayPort. Depending on how thin they are, it can also be that it has only a mini or micro HDMI port or mini-DP port or even completely dispensed with real graphics ports and has only one USB-C port, the one can also use for graphics.
VGA and DVI but I have not seen in recent notebooks for some time.
For notebooks from the respective business line of the manufacturer is still installed VGA. Because unfortunately it is still urgently needed
Pay attention also with the adapter purchase, that stands there accordingly: converts HDMI signals (your new laptop) into VGA signals (your old screen).
By the way, new screens with HDMI connection do not cost that much anymore.
This connection is VGA.
Similar looking but wider would be DVI.
Some (or actually all newer ones) also have HDMI. If I see it correctly, it's even on the left side of this picture.
VGA should still have any notebook which is to be connected to a beamer, because schools like to have only VGA connections or only this was wired.
Alternative is a HDMI to VGA adapter which one should always have for such cases.

This is a VGA connector, more recent devices use HDMI, you can say: VGA is only for picture transmission, HDMI for picture and sound. Besides, it is faster and easier to connect from form factor. Modern devices ALWAYS have HDMI connections. VGA not really. However, there are still Tvs with VGA back there's enough room.
If the old monitor is a flat screen monitor, then it will probably have an HDMI connection.
Or even completely dispensed with real graphics ports and only has a USB-C port, which can also be used for graphics.
So that's probably more the way the Apple strikes.
A connection for network, charging, mouse, keyboard and monitor… ONE!
Because Apple likes adapters so much.
Yes, Apple does that, for example, although I've only seen laptops with multiple ports. So twice left and twice right USB-C ports for everything.
The problem with the missing graphic ports but there are, for. Also with current surface tabs. I just recently for the company all sorts of adapters from mini and micro HDMI or DisplayPort on normal HDMI bought in the hope that any people who want to show a presentation to us, can be connected to the projector, but then did someone come who just had USB-C and for whom we did not have a suitable cable (and of course he did not).
Something is then but also own stupidity.
At the time I bought a notebook for the vocational school which still had a VGA connection and was still able to gamble on the latest technology.
Had it not had, then I would have brought an HDMI to VGA adapter.
And if you really have none of the most common connections because you only have USB C, then you should probably still be able to have an adapter. Especially when you're there to give a presentation.
That was also what was done at our vocational school, if someone did not have an adapter for their own notebook for the presentation or presentation on the school computer in Excel thanks to the formatting was not or was not displayed correctly, then this was a 6 ! This affected the MAC users always very stupid
