This set's native resolution is 1366x768. You will want to set your video card output as close to the native resolution of your set as possible. Your video card will have to be able to support this resolution. If you experience stretching or doubling of pixels, check to see if your set has a 1:1 picture option for the VGA input. That just means that if your card puts out, say 1240x720, the set will not stretch the image to fit the screen, but display the picture as output from the CPU. You can certainly connect this set via VGA. If your card has a DVI output and it supports digital format, not analog, you can use a DVI to HDMI adapter and use the HDMI input on the set. If you want sound through your set from the CPU you will need a micro stereo-stereo wire.

so if i take vga and i use powerstrip to get to 1366x768
then i will get a native resolution?
and if i use powerstrip to use 1920x1080 on my vga will this work?
Use the VGA connection. I am not quite sure what "powerstrip" is, but you cannot display true 1080p (1920x1080) on that set. The "1080" in 1920x1080 refers to the number of horizontal lines displayed by a set. Your set will display up to a maximum of 768 lines horizontally (1366x768). Its max resolution is 768p (1366x768). This is "fixed", or constant. Being that this is a fixed pixel, LCD display it will take all signals, up or down convert them, and display them in 768p. If you feed it a 1080p signal, it will be converted to 768p. That is why I recommend using the closest setting on your video card to 1366x768, probably 1360x768, because the set will have to do less converting of the signal and you should have a better picture.
The exception would be if you allowed 1:1 mapping of the input signal from the CPU. For example, if you output 1240x720 from the video card, your set would not convert that signal to 1366x768, rather, leave it at 1240x720. You may have empty bars at the edges of the screen but would not get distortion from stretching the image to fit the display. This, of course, depends on if your set has this feature, usually found in the "aspect" adjustment menu.
