David,
 From how I read that manual, on page 19 they state that if you use auto 
HDMI/DVI it should use 1280x720p, so you should be able to set that 
resolution via the VGA.  If the screen just doesn't want to accept that 
resolution from the PC, try finding another DVI or HDMI video card, or 
you can buy a VGA to Component cable.

that's my 2cents.
