Yes, but read on. The high-voltage switching section of any monitor or television can and does produce X-ray radiation in low doses that does cause cancer if not properly shielded. Very old equipment contained no shielding and thus was attributed to cancerous growths in some people. Some people are more susseptable to cancer based on their particular DNA. All electronic equipment, Computer Monitors, televisions, microwave ovens, cellular telephones, etc., emit different forms of electronic signals, and companies are all subjected to legal requirements to shield people from harm. Modern electronic circuits and redundant testing ensures products are safe for consumers. Place an older cell phone beside or directly in front of an older crt monitor, place a call to the cell phone, and you'll probably see the monitor image jump around to demonstrate poor EMI and RFI shielding.

What type of connectors do monitors typically use?
Monitors typically use VGA or DVI now-a-days.
Can televisions be used as computer monitors?
Yes if it has VGA or HDMI input.
What is a VGA slot used for?
The Video Graphics Adapter (VGA) was one of the first standards for video cards so that manufacturers could create increasingly powerful video cards that would be used in a variety of computer systems. VGA also represents the 680x480 resolution that was standard on VGA-compatible monitors.
Does anyone still use VGA?
Yes,but it's now a legacy connection.People with older monitors still use it,but new monitors will not have it.
What does a vga port look like?
its a 15 pin female port, which is blue in color. VGA is used to connect monitors. It is also known as DB 15
What is the name of the monitor slot in the motherboard?
Older motherboards often have a VGA port which allow monitors with a VGA cable to connect without the need of a graphics card.
Does an old computer monitor that is not flat screen or lcd or anything have an VGA input?
Older computer monitors are based on a cathode ray tube, hence the name CRT monitors. Most CRT computer monitors have a VGA input or a VGA compatible input. Many years ago, computer monitors used display standards such as CGA, EGA and Hercules. All were digital interfaces with restricted color depth. CGA was limited to 16 colors, EGA had 64 and Hercules was a monochrome image limited to black, white and bright white. The connection to the monitor was a 9 pin D connector, the same size as a VGA 15 pin but with fewer pins. If any of these monitors survive, they will not take a VGA signal. Any monitor with a VGA 15 pin connector is very likely to accept VGA signals but be warned that they are normally limited to lower resolutions than modern LCD displays.
Yes, You can use USB to VGA or USB to HDMI adapters and power up to 6 monitors on windows based laptops.?
Yes, You can use USB to VGA or USB to HDMI adapters and power up to 6 monitors on windows based laptops.
Will a component input to DVI output work on a Computer Monitor?
If you have the correct cables and a DVI to VGA adapter (as most computer monitors use VGA), it should work.
Is VGA and AGP different?
VGA is an interface for connecting a monitor (as well as a specific resolution used in the earliest cards and monitors to implement it). AGP is a bus on which a graphics card can be installed.
Can you have 3 monitors with 2 VGA and one HDMI?
Yes, if your graphics card supports it. Even if that is supported, you may need to install optional driver software to enable this. Also, if you have VGA, DVI-A, and HDMI, you can easily get an DVI-A to VGA adapter.
