[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 816925, member: 24160"] Now I remember why VGA is a waste of time. Senility, you know. Before you run out and get a VGA cable for your fancy widescreen HDTV, might as well open up the owner's manual for your TV and take a look. Most HDTV's have a very limited number of resolutions that they will support through the VGA port. The better manuals will list their supported resolutions. I've owned a total of 6 HDTV sets thus far ranging in size from 26" to 65". Brands you ask? Panasonic, Toshiba, Sony Bravia, Westinghouse, LG. Not a single one them has supported anything over 1024 x 768 on my widescreen TV's. Yep, that's right 4:3 picture is all they'll support through VGA. Kinda pointless. That leaves HDMI as the only real option. [/QUOTE]
