The 'simple' solution is to use an LCD TV with a SCART input on it,
and use Roger's IIgs->RGB cable. The results will depend on the
quality of the TV.

I tried this a while back with my TV (A 32" model, a bit inconvenient
placing atop an Apple II) and the results were quite acceptable. On my
Apple II though, I've now decided to regress to a green phosphor
monochrome display. For a non-gamer, this gives the best possible
results, but I would certainly like to find a small LCD TV that worked
well.
