Is a 32''-40'' monitor too big for this cable? The description says this vga cable is "Compatible with monitors less than 17"".

So does this mean I shouldn't purchase for screen sizes larger than 17"?

No, the cable is behind the monitor and you will not be able to see it behind the monitor.

VGA doesn't carry as much data as other cables like HDMI or DVI, so the picture will likely be very blurry on monitors over 17". I would look for an HDMI cable first, or possibly a DVI cable.

You would want to use a shorter cable for that large a monitor. This cable might work just fine. The big thing is that with a longer cable, you will experience bandwidth loss.
