The 710MP is a VGA monitor with TV capabilities (ie it's primarily a VGA monitor, but also lets you watch TV).
Hence it most likely will have lower quality TV parts than the opposite combination,
A LCD TV with a VGA input (primarily a TV, that also allows you to hook up a computer).
My 3 year old Samsung 17" TV showed excellent pictures on the RGB scart input, and it even did a pretty good SuperHiRes interlaced on the Svideo input from my CD32.
Anyway, that would be my opinion.
