For anyone not aware: LVDS is the internal display panel on a laptop. So
if your system's a laptop, it has one; if it isn't, it doesn't.
DVI and VGA are the two main types of external monitor connectors. 'VGA'
is the traditional, old-skool, analog connector also known as D-SUB.

DVI is the newer type which is usually used for digital connections (but
can also carry analog). Looks like

what ports are present on the machine, not what monitors you have or
don't have connected.
