VGA is analog. You ever look at an analog-connected display next to an identical one that's connected with HDMI/DP/DVI? Also, a majority of modern systems are running at around 2-4 * 1080p, and that's hardly unnecessary for someone who spends 8+ hours in front of one or more monitors.

I look at my laptop's internal display side-by-side with an external VGA monitor at my desk nearly every day. Not exactly a one-to-one comparison, but I wouldn't say one is noticeably worse than the other. I also used to be under the impression that lack of error correction degrades the image quality, but in reality it just doesn't seem to be perceptible, at least over short cables with no strong sources of interference.
