Question Which video connectors compatible with which?

[technome79]

Is there a simple table/website that shows which computer display connectors are passively compatible with which monitor display connectors?

For example, I know you can connect a computer thunderbolt port to a monitor's HDMI (passively). However, You can't connect a computer's VGA port to a monitor's HDMI (passively).

Thanks in advance

You can make yourself a truth table where the columns list all common source connectors and the rows list all common monitor connections. Then you start populating the table, I'm not aware anybody have done this before.

Then you must consider the cases where you cannot plug, e.g. HDMI against DP, but if you get a converter you can do this.

Can imagine the column for vga is quite spares populated.
