DisplayPort is primarily used to connect a video source to a display device such as a computer monitor, and it can also carry audio, USB, and other forms of data. The 15-pin VGA connector was provided on many video cards, computer monitors, laptop computers, projectors, and high definition television sets. On laptop computers or other small devices, a mini-VGA port was sometimes used in place of the full-sized VGA connector.
