well , because the PQ is better , you can see it..

well a recently discover that with a basic vga cable (from my nec crt ) my 7800gt detect the screen as a samsung and it bot perfectly in 1080 res , but my problem is that i want to use a 10 feet cable ( because i want to put my htpc on the shelf of my audio rack )

anyway i try the 10 feet vga cable, and i cant boot in 1080 (the sceen is black and it tell me unsupported res or sommething like this) at first i tought it was the cheap 10ft vga cable that was the problem and try a good one , same problem

to be honest , there is not a big difference in quality of image , it is more important to find a way to use a 10 feet lenght because of the practicall matter

my samsung do 1:1 on vga and it is not the same story on hdmi (overscanning problem) + i prefer the PQ in vga

i hope i can find someone who had encouter the same problem so i can fix this

thanks

ho boy ! i finaly manage how to save a custom setting in the forceware with the normal cable , after that , i put the 10 feet cable and it boot correctly with the timming saved

it still detect my samsung as analogue monitor ( with the basic cable it was detct as samsung) but it work
