I recently switched to using a 47" LCD as my monitor. It's 1080p so my
resolution is 1920x1080

I'm currently using a normal PC cable, the same one I used for my old
1024x768 monitor. Things look okay to me. But I note that there are
different kinds of PC cables (HD15 / Sub D) . There are some called
VGA, then there is SVGA and UXGA. Each is supposedly intended for a
different resolution, I think I read that the VGA one is intended for
600x480, the SVGA is intended for 800x600, UXGA is 1600x1200,
something like that.... etc etc

ie:   http://www.infinitecables.com/vga.html

The questions: am I losing any video quality by using a normal PC
cable and not an UXGA one, or better still, a DVI to HDMI cable?  Can
any VGA cable handle high resolutions?

Any links or specific facts would be greatly appreciated.
