It's been a long time since I've last played with VGA but I know that the standard doesn't just do every resolution out there - I was wondering if the graphics card can support it (computer is an iMac, not an issue) - if a VGA connection can actually handle a resolution of 1920x1080 or if DVI is simply just required.

It can handle 1920X1080. I am using it as I type this
I am going to assume that with 'VGA' you mean the cable with 15 pins connectors. In which case the answer is yes.
There are three cave eats though:
- Used a good cable. Lower quality cables and high resolution will result in ghosting and other problems
- Does the monitor support it? It needs to support both the resolution and it needs to support it via the DB15 input. Some devices might not expect such a high resolution via that old port, and if manufacturers can make thing cheaper by catering to the most used stuff then they will do so,
- The graphics card needs to support this. But you already wrote that this was not a problem. (Mentioned for the sake of completeness)
