Is the VGA performance acceptable ? I hear 1080 devices don't do well with lower-res inputs

The VGA I had it hooked up to for a day or so seemed fine, but I did not play any games on it. You can pick up a VGA to HDMI cable conversion for $8. Not sure if that would alleviate any potential issues.

it's acceptable, but i have mine setup with hdmi, mainly for gaming. you can't go wrong with this monitor no matter what you use it for, especially the price.

Greg:I just remembered, in the quick set up manual there is a diagram for hooking up your computer to the Samsung using an HDMI cable. This assumes you have an HDMI output on your computer. This would give you the highest quality resolution on the set ( it will still be limited to 1440 by 900 though). There is opinion out there that you would be hard pressed to tell the differnce between VGA and HDMI at that resolution. You could try both and see which looks best.

Yes will go into standard VGA - no USB or HDMI output which is a downside for some.

I have hooked it up to my PC and it looked fantasic. The resolution is the same as yours IIRC. Check you VGA cable, it almost sounds like it is too long or it is bad. It should look really nice when you have it working right. Also check to see how old your video card is, older cards may have trouble since it is an odd resolutions. Check the manuf web site to see if there are updated drivers. Ernie

Yes it is, it's a VGA connection, 1600x900 maximum resolution and it works great.

Unfortunately yes. 1080 only. Display port and dvi work great on max resolution.

I am currently using 2560 x 1080 at 60Hz. Monitor is capable of 75Hz at other resolutions.

I bought a VGA converter from Microsoft, you will need it if you want to make it work, I had my 360 work with it just fine, but the screen starts blinking after 2 years I bought it.

Yes, depending on which Dvi you're using, (there are several types) there is usually a higher resolution than you would get from a VGA cable.

As others have stated, it only officially supports 1920x1080 via HDMI. I managed to get it to a full 2560x1440, but I had to create a custom resolution and I could only get it to 30fps. Not ideal, but it's acceptable for me. See my image and review for more info.

If your VGA input is really Component (Y - Pr - Pb) use it instead of the inferior "S" cable.If you have HDMI use it as it is the best input of all. Remember if you feed this superior TV garbage that's what your going to see. Good luck

yes it will be better than VGA. But HDMI is better than all. gives you multimedia and great picture.

I'm having the exact same problem when trying 1080p. It lets me go to 144hz when not in HD though.

A DVI to VGA adapter was included in the package for this unit. I have tested it up to 1920x1080 and it works well at that resolution. Just make sure that the VGA connector is secure on both ends; as with any VGA cable, the signal can get blurry if the connector is loose. (This was particularly true for me when using the desktop's included VESA bracket to mount it to the back of my television, because space is extremely constrained behind the television and the VGA cable would sometimes get jarred loose). Be careful about your cable arrangement and you should be fine.

Are you sure it's not your computer settings? I know on a mac you have to adjust the overscan. I haven't used it as VGA yet.

No, According to what I found out the HDMI output from the laptop is digital and VGA is analog. Need a converter.

pretty good - set it to 640x480 and 'high quality' in &lt;monitor settings&gt; for best quality
