Do you think a VGA cable can manage the 2560 x 1440 resolution of a dell U2711?
There is no theoretical limit to the resolution. If your video card’s ramdac is fast enough (it should be) it could display 2560 x 1440. However, the quality of the image is going to be pretty bad. The higher you go, the more susceptible to interference and the lower the quality of the image gets. If you spend over a thousand dollars on the monitor, you are wasting it’s capability by connecting to it via a vga cable. At lower resolutions and on crappier displays, you might not perceive a difference between vga and hdmi or dvi, but it might be apparent on that Dell U2711. I’m sure it will work fine, but it will not be all that it can be.
