According to the powers that be at Elecraft, they are working on the 
design of an SVGA output to augment the LCD screen. The cutout is 
already present in the rear panel of the P3.

Having used a P3 for several weeks, I can tell you that the built-in 
display is much better than one sees in the ads. In part, this is 
physiological...the eye is not fast enough to show the jaggies that show 
in a screen photo. My conclusion wrt display quality is that the LCD 
screen is quite acceptable.

As a panadapter, the P3 is much nicer to work with than e.g. HDSDR/PMSDR 
or LP-Pan, which take up most of a screen with doo-dads.

I should add that because the P3 uses a very fast ADC (60 MHz sampling 
rate!), one does not have to bother about the computer's sound card, in 
which the normal limit is 192 kHz or less (usually LESS, giving lower 
Nyquist frequencies...).
