I don’t consider installing software on a PC to get it to do what I want it to do as pissing about. And I fail to see how your comment would be of any assistance to other people.
Nowadays I would say take the DVI output of your PC and plug it into the HDMI input. But back in the day when HDMI and DVI were either not available or not so common I would say using something like Powerstrip was the way to go.

“VGA is 640x480 pixels at 31.5KHz horizontal line rate and 60Hz refresh - what Powerstrip changes it to is NOT VGA but RGB at video timings and resolution!”
That resolution was quickly replaced by high resolutions but the connector at the back of the PC has always been called the VGA connector and that is what we are talking about here. Incidentally the VGA output is RGB.
Again I fail to see how your comment is helping; it seems to only add confusion.
