At least they had screws? I dont trust HDMI or even worse USB-C. Still using VGA monitors with adapters, never broke a single plug.

Why are you using VGA when DVI-D exists? Or Displayport for that matter.

[-] Pantherina@feddit.de 15 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Because VGA used to be a standard and all monitors I had lying around are VGA only

Kudos for not just trashing them.

Why should I? Full HD and working well, no reason to do so, new displays are 100€+ which is freaking expensive for that improvement

Because there's plenty of used monitors to be had out there that have DVI on them in some capacity for very reasonable prices.

For instance I just purchased 4 x 24inch Samsung monitors for $15 USD each.
