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.
