That depends- if all you want is a standard monitor (with a "video"
input like you use with a VCR) than you need something with a composite
output. (RGB type port)
Some of the newer monitors will take computer output and you can
take your pick with resolution. CGA,EGA,VGA
One time I managed to connect a computer output to one of the monitors
that had separate inputs for red, green and blue by only using the 
green gun which emulated a monochrome monitor.
