VGA and DVI honestly were both killed off way too soon. Both will perfectly drive a 1080p 60fps display and honestly the only reason to use HDMI or Displayport with such a display is if that matches your graphics output
The biggest shame is that DVI didn’t take off with its dual monitor features or USB features. Seriously there was a DVI Dual Link with USB spec so you could legitimately use a single cable with screws to prevent accidental disconnects to connect your computer to all of your office peripherals, but instead we had to wait for Thunderbolt to recreate those features but worse and more likely to drop out
Sorry, I didn’t mean it can’t be done, I did it plenty in the 90s/00s, I meant that the resulting image tends to be noticeably less sharp. But perhaps analog->digital converters got better?
Remember DVI?
Remember it? I work on PCs with DVI connected monitors every day.

DVI – sure, but if you think 1080p over VGI looks perfect you should probably get your eyes checked.
My dude, VGA is ANALOG it absolutely cannot run a LCD and make it look right, it is for CRTs
The little people inside the LCD monitor can absolutely turn the electricity into numbers. I’ve seen them do it.
