It IS possible to produce crisp picture with VGA if you are using good video card (from Matrox, for example) and LCD panel with very good ADC. But cheap models are almost always unusable and in reality I'm yet to see onboard video with VGA connector I can tolerate. So I gave up trying and just refuse to use anything with analog video connection...

And a good cable. I have Matrox card and VGA only LCD. With good cable (1cm thick, filters on both ends) image on LCD is crisp. With cheap cables bundled with some videocards/LCDs (thin, about 4mm diameter, one or no filters) image is blurred.
