Just a few tips:

- in most cases the type of connection should not[1] affect the 
  resolution. DVI or HDMI are just better, because you avoid a useless 
  conversion from digital to analog and then back to digital. In my 
  experience you get a better quality image even if the resolution is 
  the same
- running an LCD monitor at anything else but its native resolution 
  is... sub-optimal (to put it mildly). A high resolution should not put 
  any strain on the kind of hardware you have. Even a Raspberry Pi can 
  handle 1920 x 1080.

[1] VGA is also more sensible to distance, so if you are using a longer 
cable (or an extension) try a shorter one. DVI or HDMI might also help 
in this case.

Kind regards,
Andrei
