I assume you mean rgb to VGA or scart convertors but those do not seem

Here's an option: http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=414

Although, high quality scandoublers are expensive. (And, the pinout of
that one is going to be different from what the GS has, being meant
for an Amiga.)

A RGB SCART to Component (YCbCr) adapter is also a viable solution now that a lot of TV/monitors have those jacks in the US.

Testing over at the gamesx RGB forum show they work well.

Work well with _what_ is the key question. I see no indication that anyone connected one to an Apple IIGS. Experience by myself and many others on this forum suggests that VERY few scan converters are capable of good results with the IIGS. Certainly nothing in the $50 price range. The Highway 100 has been a consistent performer, but it costs > $200 US.
