Yes, the picture will be fine.  But, the colors are wrong.  Run the
video test (if you have the Apple III diagnostics disk) and you will see
the color bars are wrong.  The Apple III color mode was made to work
with the strange power-screen color monitor that Apple sold (and was
made by Hitachi).  I forget what Apple called the output from the III,
but it was a form of digital RGB.
