That 1366x768 was an interim resolution for early "wide" screen laptops. Trying to stay compatible with XGA, they called it WXGA, and kept the 768 of the 4:3 1024x768 resolution. 768 is not easily divisible for a 16:9 ratio (as you know), but they got close with 1366x768. Some display cards work better with an 8x divisor though, so you should see a "1360x768 85:48 40Hz" and "60Hz" setting. It will be slightly "off", but not by much. If you are concerned about it though. Match the Hz to what your card's "native" refresh rate is. You could add the "Windowed Mode", which would be mostly full-screened, if you are concerned about being off a pixel or two... That resolution will "crowd" things together on the screen though, and some aspects of it might be off the screen display. You cannot overdrive your display to 1920x1080, but could use an external 1920x1080 display maybe...
