Supermac Technologies has both a color and B&W monitor which is
19 inches (or larger I don't remember).  You need to purchase their
video card for use with the monitors.  Cost: ~4200 for the color Spectrum
Monitor at ComputerWare in Palo Alto.  The BW one is considerably less.

I am not sure about the prices, so this should only be a guesstimate.

Software which follows the Apple programming guidelines (i.e. not hardcoding
screen sizes) will take advantage of all the space available on the screen.

In other words, if the program runs on the Radius, E Machines or other large
screens without any cosmetic defects then there will be no problem.

Most software that runs w/o cosmetic defects on the II will run on the other
large screens since the Mac II has 13"/12" C/BW monitors.

DISCLAIMER:  I have no connection with SuperMac Technologies except as a
satisfied customer of their Dataframe line.

DISCLAIMER:  I have previously worked for ComputerWare in Palo Alto but now
have no connection except as a satisfied patron.
