content: And if you're really a complete sadist, there are Display Port to VGA adapters... Speaking of DP, it was created by VESA. This group was originally formed in 1989 to come up with a standard to replace VGA, which was a proprietary IBM standard (based on D-sub). The standard they came up with was SVGA, enabling resolutions up to 800x600, vs the 640x480 of VGA (hence calling it "Super" VGA).
