Dear All,

I know that going more pixels means more advance port (DP, HDMIv2, etc) but some of my device still stuck at VGA so I was wondering if anyone has ever experienced VGA to DP or even HDMI converter?

Free to discuss this further.

My situation is I have an old trusty KVM still working fine but only VGA interface, and some of my hardware still running off VGA so I am hesitate to upgrade to higher-end monitor due to this factor.
After my last purchase (Dell P2414H), I figure it is probably going to be the last tech that going to last for the next 3 to 5 years before VGA become obsolete.
I am very interested in the Ultra-wide screen that is been "hot" recently, extra work space instead of extending my laptop to another screen which feels awkward with different screen size and resolution, so my next couple of years planning is to switch to ultra-wide and have my laptop's screen off (lid close).

Now, it comes to me that HDMI also has limited compatibility in the ultra-wide arena, and does HDMI output from laptop has HDMI limitation as such the monitor? (HDMI v1.1, 1.4a, v2.0, etc)
Because if the graphics card output has a HDMI version limitation, does it means I have to buy a new system? (Desktop with newer graphics card or new Laptop)
I have seen lots of review on monitors but rarely do discussion on the source output so I was wonder if source will matter which version of port (DP v1.1, DP v1.2, HDMI v1.4a, HDMI v2.0) the system is using in order to be compatible with the monitor?

Keep the thread alive if this is relevant to some people like me.

p/s: This is not about just ultra-wide discussion, it's about "old-to-new-converter" discussion.

Thank you for reading, hope my English is readable.
