If the description of a monitor states that it has a VGA input connector foes that mean it comes with a VGA cable or does it mean that it only supports a VGA cable

It depends but most moniters I have bought came with the cables that they were compatabile with. If it is used then it likely not come with it

it also means you are most likely buying old stuff since VGA ports tend to be not a thing on newer (gamery) hardware including monitors.

 

i always look at vga ports as a last resort when all else failed.

 

or in meetings from crap notebooks and 1995 projectors...

It just means there is a VGA input port on the monitor. It may or may not come with a cable.
