If you're seeing non-crisp images at lowish resolutions (say 1280x1024 or below), something's broken.

Yum. But unfortunately for small systems with high-density boards in these conditions more often then not in these conditions "something" is analog path of video signal on the board itself.

Plus constant problems with sync, etc. No, the VGA is very bad idea for LCDs...

This would also be true for DVI signals, where careful routing of the LVDS pairs from the
transmitter chip to the connector is needed.
