1080p over VGA?

Ok so its a new Benq V2210, I think its fairly recent so there's not much about it on google but if you search V2200 it is very similar, I can only seperate them by visual design

Anyway I have a 5850 also, can I do 1080p via VGA to this new monitor from my 5850, I'm assuming as were in 2009 that it should be perfectly capable but I'd like to check just incase I need to order a different cable cheers guys

You can use VGA but DVI is better from what most people say, and the cable only costs a couple of quid.

From what I've heard its not noticeable, who knows, anyway the monitor only has HDMI or VGA

Im just making sure that a modern monitor is capable of accepting 1080p over VGA

It's just another resolution, nothing special about it so it should be fine.

The video signal portion of an HDMI connection is just DVI anyway so I'd use either a DVI-HDMI cable or if your graphics card has a DVI->HDMI dongle then use that with a standard HDMI cable.

If you got the VGA cable with the monitor, a new HDMi cable won't give any difference. The difference can be found between a low quality VGA cable and a DVI cable though.

Texts ae distinctively sharper in Digital than in Analog. Movies remain the same.
