I have the chance to buy a monitor which will (on a PC clone) display
an 8" x 11.5" image.  I would like to find out if it will interface
to an Amiga, either with the scan-deinterlacer (VGA compatible) or
with the ECS Denise.  I do not know the range of outputs that the
Denise can be driven to, but I do have the specs on the monitor.

The monitor is made by Packard-Bell and appears to come with its own
proprietary PC/XT card for driving it at 736 x 1006.  It is also
(apparently) Hercules (w/ parallel) compatible (resolution unspecified)

Horizontal Frequency: 62.75 kHz.
Vertical Frequency: 59.88 kHz.
Maximum Resolution: 1006 x 1048.

How do these scan rates compare with NTSC, MGA, CGA, EGA and VGA?

Thanks for any info you anyone can provide,
-ethan
