Analog video connectors
Similarly to audio cables and connectors, video cables and connectors can be broadly divided into two groups: analog and digital. Among the analog connectors, the most popular and widely used is VGA (Video Graphics Array), also called D-SUB, which began to be produced in 1987. This connector is capable of transmitting an image with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 at a refresh rate of 85 Hz. Nowadays, this is not an extraordinary achievement - the image quality depends on the length and quality of the cable, but even in the case of a perfect connection, we will not achieve the quality of digital connectors.
Digital video connectors
In the video cables and connectors section, we have a range of digital connectors, which everyone will surely find something for themselves. The offer includes standards such as DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort and various types of adapters. Among the digital connectors, the most popular is HDMI, i.e. High Definition Media Interface. Its popularity is due to the fact that, in addition to the PC market, the connector is also widely used in TVs, consoles, projectors, tablets and phones.
DisplayPort is a guarantee of quality
If you want to ensure the highest quality and bandwidth, it is worth looking at the DisplayPort connector in our video cables and connectors category, which debuted on the market in 2008. It ensures the highest bandwidth - version 1.4 offers the ability to transmit images in a resolution of 7680 x 4320 (8K) with a refresh rate of 60 Hz or 3840 x 2160 (4K) with a refresh rate of 240 Hz. The DisplayPort standard also allows multi-channel audio to be transmitted along with the image. Versions 1.2 and above support Adaptive Sync and AMD FreeSync technologies. Currently, before the HDMI 2.1 standard enters the market, the DisplayPort connector is the best solution if our monitor has a resolution higher than FHD and supports Adaptive Sync or G-Sync - otherwise, the HDMI or DVI standard is sufficient for our needs.
Video cables and connectors
Cables and all types of video connectors are solutions commonly used in virtually every home, in offices, at universities and in many other places.
The most popular cables that are able to transmit a signal with an image are those that use HDMI connectors. It is used both to connect computers with monitors and virtually any other playback equipment, for example a TV or projector.
HDMI - micro HDMI cable
It is worth noting that this HDMI cable transmits not only image, but also sound. Ease of use and well-thought-out design are one of the most important reasons for the great popularity of this solution.
Manufacturers of many laptops and even smartphones have decided to include micro HDMI connectors in them to make it easier to connect these devices to larger screens. Our solutions, i.e. HDMI and micro HDMI cables, will be perfect for this purpose.
