I don't know about AD4K, but I was in the hospital for a diagnostic a couple of days ago, and they were still using VGA monitors, which didn't make me feel especially confident since my diagnostic involved technology.

Lots of businesses at least in my area still use VGA. And they connect them to their computers with DisplayPort adapters.

These were definitely VGA monitors. I saw them from the back.

EDIT: Sorry, misunderstood what you were saying.

The medical industry as a whole is staggeringly slow to replace anything technology. I'm a bit surprised at something as simple as what type of connector they're using for their monitor, but not jaw-droppingly slow.

I use an old VGA monitor with my modern desktop that I found in my school's recycling bins. I only use it as a second monitor but I can confirm VGA monitors are still fine for displaying simple text/monitoring software. No point in throwing it out if it works and isn't a security risk.
