No, please don't try it. You might damage the monitor.
We tried with two monitors. The first showed a very small picture
and died after some hours. The second had a little bigger picture
but still smaller than normal and survived that 8-day faire.
But if you don't want to risk your equipment, don't do it.

Obviously the scan rates for EGA differ so heavily from normal
Amiga modes that the 1084 can't synchronize properly. And this
is always an extreme stress for monitors.
