Can't be specific since I'm several hundred miles to the South, but many
of the newer television sets have composite video inputs.  If you've got a
stock ][e, that's all you need.  The biggest problem with a color monitor
is that it is tough to read 80-column text.

Apple used to sell a really nice composite color monitor, available in
both beige and grey...er...Platinum, which had a color-killer switch and
really sharp black-and-white text.  If you can find one of those, you're
in REALLY good shape.  But the video output of the ][e is standard RS-170A
NTSC composite color, so any decent television monitor will do nicely.
