Explanation

VGA (Video Graphics Array) uses a DE-15 connector - a D-sub connector with 15 pins arranged in 3 rows of 5 - and transmits analog video signals. It was the dominant display standard from the late 1980s through the 2000s and is now considered legacy, as it only supports analog signals and is limited in maximum resolution. DisplayPort and HDMI are modern digital interfaces with different multi-pin connectors. DVI (Digital Visual Interface) uses a larger connector with up to 29 pins depending on the variant (single/dual-link, analog/digital). VGA's distinctive 15-pin D-sub connector is the specific legacy interface described in this question.
