When the back panel says "VGA" they are referring to the input
resolution(s) that the display is compatible with, not the connector.
You can send DVI over an HDMI cable, so it's actually digitally
addressable. That's pretty nice. Check page 20 of the user manual
here:

http://www.mitsubishi-tv.com/pdf/LaserVue_OG.pdf

The timing information on that page is not promising. Quote: "Your
Mitsubishi TV can display resolutions from standard VGA (640 x 480)
through 1920 x 1080 signals at a refresh rate of 60 Hz." I'm sure
that's not a native limitation of the technology, but it sounds like a
hard limit of this particular display to me. It's not a limitation of
the HDMI specification (CEA-861-D ) either, there are 100hz refresh
rates in there.

 I'm calling the local home theater places to see if anyone has one
that I can record with my high-speed camera.

Regards, nice find...
