Hi Felix -
But that is, in fact, what happens with the adapter I have.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GZ159FJ
I plugged it into an HDMI monitor and the VGA output of my FreeDOS
machine. When I booted the computer, the monitor said "No signal". I
tried a few different ways to power it, just in case, but nothing. Then
I plugged it into one of my Linux machines that was running at 1080p,
and the monitor came right up.
The HDMI monitor I was using also has a VGA input. I switched the
FreeDOS machine to that port and it came right up.

That adapter on Amazon does look interesting. Too bad it is not
currently available. The specs show it supporting 480 and 720
resolutions, so it might work. The adapter I got only mentions 1080.
I looked all over eBay. Everything I found was for 1080 only.
You're almost certainly seeing what actually means supports *up to* 1920x1080,
*not* 1920x1080 exclusively. I'm not sure any such component would ever be
limited
to any single resolution. Fox and ABC don't even broadcast in 1080. They use
1280x720 aka 720p. Many TVs, most all the smaller sizes, that "support" 1080 are
actually 1360x768 screens that emulate 1920x1080, so don't really produce it, or
for that matter 1280x720. Display densities are what they are, one native mode
per
device, emulating everything that isn't native.
