HD TV with a VGA Input?

[D.D.D.]

Take the Dreamcast and VGA adaptor into the store and test it on the floor model. A lot of HDs don't support the lower res 640x480 resolution. Another concern is S-Video pretty uncommon on most newer HDs.

So if the HDTV has a VGA port does that mean it up-scales it to the closest native resolution? I know most of y'all are in the states but here in Japan, most of the HDTVs I see have VGA ports on them still (not many w/s-video though).
It might be a stretch but if the TV has a VGA port, do you think there is a good chance it has a native 480 resolution on it?

Normally no upscale thru the VGA port.
Different from the 480i-480p-720i-720p-1080i-1080p support.
640x480 looks similar to 480p but a completely different screen.
Check my CRT vs LCD signature link, posted a couple of charts there.

What is cool about VGA inputs on HDTVs is that they usually have the least amount of processing of any input on that TV. So basically it is the best way to minimize input lag.
