Um. That'd be the serial port. The VGA out is 3 rows of 5 sockets
each, on a PCI card, usually next to the USB card.

Right. With computers manufactured nearly 20 years ago. Since the
A5000, I believe all RISC OS computers have come with a standard VGA
socket on board.
Certainly my RISC PC and A7000 work with whatever VDU I connect them
to!
Also, IME, LCD/TFT displays are far less likely to allow you to
display anything even remotely out of their range, which was the one
issue with using the wrong MDF on a RISC PC connected to a CRT
display.
In summary, it's not going to damage your TV. As far as your TV knows,
you're just connecting an ordinary PC graphics output (which, by the
way, you are)
