If your TV can handle a progressive signal at 50Hz, and claims to be able to do it over the SCART connector, by all means give it a go; when openChrome is set to 720x576 and TV output, the VGA output produces 720x576 progressive at 50Hz (which my old CRT monitor was perfectly happy with, and my lovely new 24" TFT monitor thinks is 720x480 and crops). And the picture should be as good as you can get on a CRT monitor. But beware! Do this at your own risk, etc; write your monitor definition in your xorg.conf corresponding to your TV's specs for horizsync and vertrefresh, and don't blame me if you accidentally create a black hole which consumes the world, or whatever...
