Have a look at:

I use vga on mine (but it's an older one and runs at a lower resolution)

I'd assume you can damage it :)
You need to check the manual for the timing signal - and this usually 
tells you the best one to use to reduce any interpolation (basically you 
want the PC graphics card to output at native resolution to minimise 
interpolation)
