75 Ohm Terminators why?

I've got a good cable on there now. It's a DVI-A to VGA cable, and it's very thick and has ferrite beads on it at the ends. I can't remember the maker as it was purchased decades ago, but it was a good expensive cable.

I'm mostly concerned with whether or not the BNC inputs will give me better quality and less reflections at higher resolutions than the VGA cable does, given a similar quality of cable.

At the time (like late 90s/ early 2000s), I remember people telling me that it's not worth it and I'd never tell the difference, but Sony seems to claim the BNCs are better when using the monitor at it's limits.

I doubt it will make much difference if you use the BNCs but you never know. Analogue video bandwidth of around 60MHz over co-ax was never easy. Everything has to be right, from the graphics card (not always as good it should be) though the cables and monitor itself.
