VGA displaying : Microcotroller or FPGA?

fpga vga

Hello everybody,
I want to display a digital clock in a pc screen, so i need a 25 MHz pixel frequency and 60Hz refreshing frequency, can i use a microcotroller? or it's preferable to use an FPGA because of his high frequency and the ability to execute different process at the same time not like the microcontroller. Thanks all.

Hi,

I would use an FPGA to controlle the display, because the VGA timing is more easily to handel. By using a microcontroller, you would have to care about how long your instructions take, etc.
