No currently-manufactured sets available in the US have SCART inputs, but
the Samsung 730MW and 940MW both are so equipped and frequently appear
on eBay. Either makes a great solution for display of analog RGB from
vintage gear (I have one of each).
Unfortunately for us Apple 2 enthusiasts, the Apple //e composite video
has a non-standard dot-clock and doesn't look very good on the Samsung
units (or any scan-converter I've tried, for that matter). I have to keep
one or two composite CRT monitors on hand.

It would be nice to figure out a good common TV
set that could be adapted
to Analog RGB or CGA.
CGA is less likely, since it's not really analog. Analog RGB is
already pretty well supported by SCART, but that's not much help
to those of us in the US or anywhere that's not Britain. It's
silly in a way, since the signal has to be converted to RGB
internally to display on the CRT, but most manufacturers weren't
interested in spending money on connectors and circuitry that
almost no one would use.
