I use an Apple IIGS to SCART cable and a Samsung SyncMaster 940MW 
(LCD monitor/TV).

This is probably the least expensive way to go IF you have a monitor 
that has a SCART connector.  The screen output is useable but 
suffers from some vertical "ghosting", most noticeable with 
contrasting colors.  This also causes the mouse arrow to leave a 
trail when moved quickly.  This monitor is the same one I use with 
my PC and I can run both the PC and the Apple IIGS at the same time 
switching back and forth between the two screens or even display 
them both side by side using "Picture in Picture".

There have also been reports here that there are some hardware 
converter devices (Apple IIGS to VGA) that work but I'll leave that 
to others to answer since I don't know much about them.

There is also the rare and probably expensive Second Sight graphics 
card that outputs VGA.
