Hi All,

Anyone know if I can do 1920x1080 rez (the display will do it) over a 15-pin VGA cable (cpu to monitor)? No hdmi or Dvi :(

Yes. I've been doing it on my Ubuntu-driven Dell (Inspiron?) 560, downstairs,.. for nearly eight years. Got some beautiful screenshots of the desktop from it too. :)

Cheers,
Paul.

You can, but the signal isn't the greatest. I've been swapping out analog
VGA cables at work on 27" monitors for DVI or DP to HDMI and seeing a great improvement.

They do make USB video adapters, but it might not be worth the hassle/cost. Your mileage may very, I'm picky about my monitors.
