Misubishi make a series of monitors that can accept VGA and NTSC composite
inputs.  They are called the "Diamond Scan, or Diamond Vision or somesuch".
A possible part # for their 13" color model is AUM-1381A.  These can be
found discounted in mail order magazines for about $500. This monitor
can handle MDA,CGA,EGA,VGA,NTSC.  It is possible to even overlay an NTSC
image and a computer one, both sources must be synchronized to each other
though.
