Explanation

A VGA (Video Graphics Array) port is a 15-pin, 3-row D-sub (DE-15) connector used for analog video output. It is trapezoidal in shape with 15 pins arranged in 3 rows of 5. A Serial port (DB-9 or DB-25) has fewer pins in 2 rows. A Parallel port (DB-25) has 25 pins in 2 rows and is larger. DVI has a distinctive flat pin plus a cross-shaped arrangement. The 15-pin, 3-row D-sub configuration uniquely identifies the VGA connector.
