    Lots of businesses at least in my area still use VGA. And they connect them to their computers with DisplayPort adapters.

      These were definitely VGA monitors. I saw them from the back.

      EDIT: Sorry, misunderstood what you were saying.

        The medical industry as a whole is staggeringly slow to replace anything technology. I’m a bit surprised at something as simple as what type of connector they’re using for their monitor, but not jaw-droppingly slow.

      I use an old VGA monitor with my modern desktop that I found in my school’s recycling bins. I only use it as a second monitor but I can confirm VGA monitors are still fine for displaying simple text/monitoring software. No point in throwing it out if it works and isn’t a security risk.
