Why don't you use a LCD?
You can use 15-khz-aware LCDs... Samsungs 510N, 710N, 910N, 910T and LGs M1521A,
M1721A, M1921A are all useable in 15Khz machines. I have a M1721A in my desk, which I use
on MSX, Amiga and Sinclair computers...it even runs 50Hz machines!
And, of course, you can use a upscaler. There are lots of them for cheap in Ebay.

is an example (I don't know the seller, etc). They work flawlessly.

It would be nice to figure out a good common TV set that could be adapted
to Analog RGB or CGA.

Any old CRT TV is generally a decent monitor for the IIe and similar.
The
cheaper, the better; you want good, fuzzy pixels.
:-) Modern LCD TVs,
when they'll sync at all (mine has trouble) look like garbage, partly
because they're much sharper.
If you know a good dump, chances are you can find cheap-ass CRT TVs from
the mid-'90s that will do a fine job for your purposes. Same goes if you
try to run vintage game systems like an NES.
