[Elecraft] P3 SVGA questions

After being disappointed by the P3's inability to display decode CW and 
data text (as the PX3 does) without the SVGA option (that's definitely 
the BOO of the week!), I am now searching for a tiny monitor that won't 
wipe out half my remaining desk space.

I have a couple of questions:

1. I found some 6" LCD monitors commonly used with Raspberry Pi devices. 
If a monitor is specified as VGA, will the P3 SVGA option drive it OK? 
The user manual seems to imply that it will, with the various display 
resolutions, but I'd like to be sure before I order either one.

2. The user manual says I can switch the SVGA output on and off. If the 
SVGA is on, is the P3's internal display turned off, or is there a way I 
can turn it off?

Thanks for any info.
