Here's the important info : ** NTSC Format **
That means it is a VIDEO monitor, as in TV, not a computer
monitor. If you can convert your VGA signals into TV
format, it would 'work'. But, I'm afraid you wouldn't
be able to read any small text. Probably you could read
the big position numbers in EMC and other DRO/CNC
programs, but you'd be giving up A LOT, especially on a
4" display.
