Mine's two years old, a 720 sony screen.
There's a significant difference between VGA and HDMI, in that the VGA
is softer looking and the colours are more washed out.
Also the resolutions supported are different... HDMI only shows up in
1280x720 but the VGA input is more forgiving and allowed 1280x720 up to
about 1372x720.
However I get no bios output at all... nothing until the machine's
booted and starts X.

I was wondering if this was common, I've got a 5-6 year old Dick Smith (made by KTV) 720 LCD panel which if I have DSUB and HDMI plugged in gives no HDMI output at certain resolutions (ie console). If HDMI only is plugged in I get horrible continuous flashing situation with console/bios boot displayed normally followed by a completely green screen.<BR>
