US TV sets usually lack RGB input (no Scart). If yours doesn't and supports 50 Hz scan rate, it will work.
NTSC/PAL differences:
- composite color encoding (doesn't matter when using RGB)
- 60/50 Hz vertical scan (TV needs to support both)
- very slight horizontal scan differences - don't matter at all

A chopped off picture can never happen; if your monitor doesn't support 50 Hz the pic will roll vertically (dumb monitor) or won't appear at all (smarter monitor).
