Hi guys, I'm planning to design a controller using PIC mcu to control a VGA display. Could you guys recommend me the mcu?

---------- Post added at 12:08 ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 ----------

Is it that we just need 5 pins of signal (Red, Green, Blue, H-SYNC, V-SYNC) from mcu to drive the VGA display?
 

You need to spec the content to the video, not just the Video interface.

YOu might consider;
Microchip PIC 16F84 VGA Output
Atmel AVR VGA Text mode Output
Atmel AVR graphics VGA output with SDRAM
Atmel AVR and ISA VGA card
Lattice MachXO CPLD/FPGA VGA generator
µVGA.com VGA http://www.microvga.com/

But I recommend you figure out how to advance order next Strawberry Pi, thats very popular but sold out.

Like in this website, they use 5 signal only: **broken link removed**
What do you mean by spec the content to the video?
Can I use 18F87k90?

I don't have an idea. Could you recommend me the most common and simple one? I just want to display some text and some graph or chart.
 

8 bit uC to VGA is a specialized design that is beyond the scope of this space.
It would be easier to say get a $25 Raspberry Pi board. 1st learn how VGA interface works and understand it, test it and scope it.
