VGA input monitors connect to computers and other sources with a VGA cable running from the source’s VGA output to the monitor’s VGA input. Depending on the monitor and source, cameras and additional video devices may connect through BNC, HDMI, or AV inputs, while audio may use a separate audio connection.

When selecting VGA input monitors, compare resolution, aspect ratio, viewing angle, screen size, and brightness to match the display with the viewing environment and video source. The assortment includes Full HD 1920 by 1080 resolution, 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios, and viewing angles up to 178 degrees, while select displays list brightness ratings for applications with higher ambient light.

When connecting VGA input monitors to existing video equipment, confirm that the source provides VGA output, select a compatible resolution and aspect ratio, and use a properly routed VGA cable with separate audio cabling when sound is required. If the source uses HDMI, BNC, or another connection, use an appropriate converter and verify the monitor’s selected input before completing the installation.

Choose VGA input monitors with HDMI, BNC, or AV inputs when an installation needs to connect computers, surveillance equipment, media players, or other video sources through different connection types. These additional inputs can simplify mixed-source setups, while BNC input and output can support video looping in surveillance applications.
