Just a few tips: - in most cases the type of connection should not[1] affect the resolution. DVI or HDMI are just better, because you avoid a useless conversion from digital to analog and then back to digital. In my experience you get a better quality image even if the resolution is the same - running an LCD monitor at anything else but its native resolution is... sub-optimal (to put it mildly). A high resolution should not put any strain on the kind of hardware you have. Even a Raspberry Pi can handle 1920 x 1080. [1] VGA is also more sensible to distance, so if you are using a longer cable (or an extension) try a shorter one. DVI or HDMI might also help in this case.
