Do you screw in both bolts on VGA cables, just the top one or ignore them altogether?

    Haven’t plugged in a VGA cable in a long time. As someone else pointed out it depends if it is temporary or long term… I always screw them in if it is long term

      Haven’t plugged in a VGA cable in a long time.

      Exactly. What have you done to HDMI and DP ports?

        DVI is the Gen X of video connectors

          VGA is the Boomers and HDMI is the Millenials. Gen-Z is using USB-C.

              DisplayPort is the cool uncle who is happy to mind the kids for free. A lot of people copy his smooth relaxed style and mannerisms without realising.

          The cables are extra long so they have plenty of slack, too.
