What I wiuld like to do is to improve the video to display on a newer LSD monitor. I have seen these devices on Ebay ( http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/en/video-converters-and-tools/23-cga-vga-hd-video-converter.html ) and am curious if this would work to convert the output of the IIe. Or is there another converter/board that would be better to output to  LCD monitor with VGA input.

that wont work for the IIe, what you have is a RGB converter, and the apples output a composite signal out of the box. If you get a composite to vga/hd converter they are a bit hit and miss, some are too good, some are meh.

I have never used one, I used a tv input card with tv-time software under linux (great program that knocks the socks off anything I have seen in windows, in terms of quality with a standard tv tuner card) and recently I found a decent, but tiny LCD that handles composite very well.
