amplifiers are available for longer distances.
You can connect the monitor to a video generator that does not
conform to VGA standards if the generator provides analog RGB video
signals (0.714V above reference black into 75 W) and separate
horizontal and vertical sync signals. Depending on the signal, the
monitor may or may not function properly.
