[QUOTE="aroy, post: 350295, member: 16090"] VGA rarely gives accurate colours as it is an analog signal, which has the whole chain to deteriorate. I have three monitors, two on HDMI and one on VGA, and there is a distinct washed out appearance in the VGA. (It has HDMI input also. When I use HDMI then the colours perk up). Graphics cards are not all that expensive. My card cost around $200 three years ago, today they are even cheaper. The card I have has two HDMI straight and another HDMI/VGA output, which is not supported by any OS. The computer recognizes the port, but XP-64, Win-7 just cannot use the third monitor. The third monitor works in VGA mode in XP, but not in Win-7. Next time I get a video card, I will have one with 4 HDMI/DVI ports which are supported by OS. Or I may wait till 4k or 8k monitors are available at sane prices and then get compatible cards. [/QUOTE]
