The 9" //c monochrome monitor is great. 

Size isn't the critical parameter--it's resolution, and the ability of your
eyes to see its resolution. A tiny hi-res display with a lens, fitted to
glasses could work beautifully. 

For crisp 80-column display, you want a monitor with 10MHz or more video
bandwidth, and a screen resolution of at least 800 pixels across.
