    VGA was just analog, it wasn’t because the resolutions supported weren’t HD.

      100% right. I know it can handle 1920x1080 @ 60hz and it can handle up to 2048x1536

        I remember my buddy getting a whole bunch of viewsonic CRTs from his dad who worked at a professional animation studio. They could do up to 2048×1536 and they looked amazing, but were heavy as fuck for lan parties lol. I loved that monitor though, when i finally ‘upgraded’ to an lcd screen it felt like a downgrade in alot of ways except desk real estate.

        It can handle way more than that can’t it? It’s analogue, I remember being able to set my crt to 120hz way back in the day.

          I’ve seen some videos on YouTube of people overclocking their CRTs so definitely that most be a thing. And yes it is 100% analog.

              Dude, I’ve been thinking about that too and they’re getting rare or difficult to find, at least in the USA. I found one at work with the Windows 2000 Login Screen burned in…
