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.

You won't get much out of the composite port to improve on, because there's no way to get an S-Video signal due to the chroma and luma being combined in the signal generation.  If you have access to a Ramworks III card with an RGB option then you could convert that to CGA or VGA.

Haven't heard of newer LSD monitors, but I'm sure they're extremely colorful!
