2.5.1     HDMI Video Port

 

In the past, VGA/DVI monitors were widely used video devices, but most modern monitors support High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), which displays high-resolution images. The Raspberry Pi is designed to use Full HDMI output with full HD 1920x1080 resolution as the primary video output, and comes with an HDMI port to support it as a standard.

 

Raspberry Pi does not provide a separate port for DVI (Digital Video Interconnect) or VGA video devices. If you want to connect Raspberry Pi to a DVI/VGA video device, you must use an adapter that converts the HDMI output from Raspberry Pi to DVI/VGA output. If you want to connect Raspberry Pi to DVI monitor, you can use a passive HDMI àDVI cable. On the other hand, when connecting Raspberry Pi to a VGA monitor, a passive HDMI à VGA cables will not work on Raspberry Pi, so you must use an active HDMIàDVI adapter. Also, as these active VGA adapters without an external power supply do not work properly in many cases, it should have external power supply.
