It looks like you win the bet -- I looked up old Amazon orders and 
stopped at the product title:

https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-DisplayPort-VGA-Adapter-Converter/dp/B003V4TV8O

StarTech.com DisplayPort To VGA Video Adapter Converter - Active - 1080p 
- DP to VGA Converter (DP2VGA2)


Reading further, the description says "With support for video 
resolutions up to 1920x1200 or 1080p".  The StarTech page confirms it:

https://www.startech.com/en-us/audio-video-products/dp2vga2


The DP2VGA3 has "1920x1200" in the title on both Amazon and StarTech. 
The specifications appear to be the same as the DP2VGA2 (?), but the 
price is less:

https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-DP2VGA3-DisplayPort-Adapter-Converter/dp/B00JQJV4OC

https://www.startech.com/en-us/audio-video-products/dp2vga3


Here are the Wikipedia pages on VGA, 1080p, and 1920x1200:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Graphics_Array

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1080p

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1920x1200


I am unable to determine the maximum resolution, refresh rate, 
bandwidth, etc., for VGA.  My monitor and KVM are VGA 1920x1080, so I 
run that or less.
