Preferred way of substituting TFT for CRT Monitor?

To avoid the inaccuracies from the unknown vertical retrace time (and unused lines, etc)
I would say that 512 pixels per line and 25kHz line time -> a pixel rate of at least 12.8MHz.
It will be higher than that due to the horizontal retrace time, of course

Yes.

I have no idea as to the resolution, but there is an HP98204A that outputs TV rate
(US or European I think) video.
