I've recently gotten an HDTV at home, which has VGA and HDMI. My laptop has DVI-D and VGA, so I could use a DVI to HDMI cable to connect to the TV, but considering the price, I'd like to stay away from that. I am wanting to connect VGA, but it's been pretty hard to find a VGA cable that explicitly says it will allow me to connect to my screen in native resolution (1366x768). I'm wondering if this will work. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't, but every Belkin cable I've looked at says that it's not suitable for high resolution screens, etc... so I don't really want to buy it, try to use it, have it not be able to work, and then not be able to return it. Anybody know if it will work, and if not, have a suggestion for one that will?

I have a similar Belkin Pro series VGA cable, and I use it to connect my Asus and Macbook to my HDTV.
I think it's more the drivers of the computers that determine the resolution possible, as my Asus will only connect with a measly resolution of 1024x768, while my Macbook can go 720p and beyond (no point going beyond that actually, because that's the resolution closest to the HDTV's native, anything higher would involve down scaling. In case you're wondering, 1366x768 wasn't on the list stragely).
Then again, if you are in doubt, just go DVI. -
Well, I really need the native res, because to be honest, I'm trying to remove a stuck pixel using Jscreenfix. The warranty won't cover it since it's just one pixel, but it's pretty annoying.
