My projector actually came with a perverse little known DVI connector. The packaging just said DVI. But when I got home I couldn't use my DVI cable. The socket on the projector was too long. Going back to the store I argued a long time with the clerk until he sold me an adaptor with his employee discount.

The socket was supposed to be used to connect something via USB to the projector. But to what end I could never find out. It was basically useless. Especially since they could just as easily have used a normal DVI socket and a USB socket. But nooo, they had to be special.
