EXPLANATION

DMS-59, or Dual Monitor Solution (59 pins), is a connector found on older video cards. It allows for two high resolution displays to be connected via a single port.
The compact size is useful for allowing two displays on a single half-height video card. Monitors typically connect via a special adapter to split the 59 pin connection to dual DVI or dual VGA connectors.
