Video card resolution compatible with HDTV?

I have a line on a 26" Phillips HDTV whose native resolution is 1366 x
768 that I'd really like to use as my primary computer display. I
have an eVGA GeForce 6200 LE AGP 8x video card that doesn't support
that resolution specifically, it does support 640x480, 800x600,
1024x768, 1152x864, 1280x960, 1280x1024, 1600x1024, 1600x1200, and
four more resolutions.

My question is this: Do I need to get a new video card that supports
the 1366x768 resolution to use this as a computer display (and do they
even make them)? Or if I select a different resolution on the PC,
will the panel scale the image, and will it be clear?

How does this stuff work?

The Phillips panel model number is 26PF5320/28.

Thanks!

I think you use 1024x768 resolution; but wouldn't swear to it.

You need to install the correct .inf file for a or your HDTV display.
If you don't have one, you can create a custom one using Powerstrip or
similar. You then have to "Update Driver" for the monitor, pointing it
to the .inf file.
