Recently I happned to buy a use AT box which comes with 
EGA/Hercule card built in the mother board (Western Digital board).
I am not going to spend $$$ on color screen, but would like to
buy a paper-white VGA (especially from Magnavoux or Samsung) monitor.
My question is

WILL VGA PAPER WHITE MONITOR WORK WITH EGA CARD?  IS VGA a superset
of EGA?  

Can anybody in the net help me decide?  Of course, I am not limited to
any specific brand names.  Your experience/advice will be really
appreciated and thanks to whoever will reply (in advance!).
