VGA only supports 4:3 resolutions. Not to mention not all of those adapters work well.
Most new displays support at least HDMI or DVI. VGA is analog. HDMI and DVI are digital. You are far better connecting to a digital technology than analog.

Also note, MacBook Pros don't run Classic. Please use the MacBook Pro forum in the future when posting questions about it.
