Näytönliittimet

Näytönliittimet, known in English as display connectors, are physical interfaces used to connect a video source, such as a computer or graphics card, to a display device, like a monitor or television. These connectors transmit video signals, and in some cases, audio signals as well, allowing for visual output from a device. The type of connector used often dictates the maximum resolution and refresh rate that can be supported, as well as whether advanced features like HDR (High Dynamic Range) are possible.

Common types of näytönliittimet include VGA (Video Graphics Array), which is an older analog standard still found on some devices, DVI (Digital Visual Interface), which offers both analog and digital signals, and HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface), which is a widely adopted digital standard supporting high resolutions, refresh rates, and audio. DisplayPort is another popular digital interface known for its high bandwidth, allowing for support of very high resolutions and refresh rates, as well as features like daisy-chaining multiple monitors. USB-C is a modern, versatile connector that can carry video signals, data, and power over a single cable, often utilizing DisplayPort Alternate Mode for video output. The choice of näytönliitin depends on the capabilities of both the source device and the display, as well as the user's requirements for video quality and features.
