Can VGA/D-Sub do Full 1920x1080p (FULL HD)?

Read the topic^^^^

I have a video card that supports that res, and i run my games (i.e COD4, Grid) at 1920 x 1080 res but is that full HD? Also I am using an HD monitor which supports FULL HD and i am using a VGA cable (monitor calls it D-Sub) but when i try to go to 1920 x 1080 on my desktop, it says out of range but when ever i got to that res on games its fine. Also using the ATi catalyst, i try to force 1080p at 30 or 60hz but it doesn't work and says out of range. Whats the problem? The cable?:?

Please give some explanation to ur answers because i don't want two words answers :P

So you can play games at 1920x1080p, but when you go back to your desktop you cant set the resolution to 1920x1080? Thats really odd, what video card and monitor do you own?

Odd, now if i go to ATI catalyst control center, it works perfectly in 1920 x 1080 p at 60 mhz......

Okay now it seems to be working, (yeah i am confused as well) but how do i know if it is 1080p or 1080ikilla4lyfe

I have the same card as you and it only outputs 1080i when attached to a hdmi as far as i know

Nope if your LCD has a hdmi port then use the hdmi adapter and buy a hdmi cable from amazon or buy a DVI to HDMI cable their great I'm using one now on my 8800GT and Samsung T220HD LCD and picture is AWSOME!Hekynn

[QUOTE="Marfoo"][QUOTE="S0H0"]1920 x 1080 is Full HD. 1080i and 1080p contain the same data, the difference being the way the source signal is sent to the output monitor. 1080i = Interlaced 1080p = Progressive Scan VGA (D-Sub) = Analogue output DVI / HDMI = Digital output Relax mate, it all sounds fine. :)S0H0

Ye, I would advise a DVI too. BTW "full HD" is something that TV manufacturers came up with, aswell as "HD" 1080p has been around for a long time, just not in TVs. Also 1920 x 1080 is classed as 1080p or 1080i, so yes. And you will be getting 1080p aslong as you have not forced 1080i under CCC.
