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.

Computer monitor function?
A computer monitor is an output device that displays visual information generated by the computer's graphics card. It consists of a screen that uses pixels to create images and text. The monitor receives signals from the computer through a cable, converting the digital information into visible images on the screen for the user to interact with. The quality of a monitor is determined by factors such as resolution, refresh rate, panel type, and color accuracy.
What is the description of a lightpen?
A light pen is a computer input device that allows users to interact with a computer screen by pointing or drawing directly on the monitor. It picks up light emitted by the screen to determine its position, enabling users to select items or input data by tapping on the screen with the pen. Light pens were commonly used in early computer systems before the widespread adoption of touchscreens and other input devices.
