The 1541 from Comodore is a monitor which can be universially used. It's
about 14" in think, that's the largest size practically useful for me.
(I have limited space). However the quality of the CRT is as good as the
one in low-cost CRT monitors and therefor somewhat better than normal
14" TV-sets. But look at e-bay, you might find some large sized TV-sets
with RGB for little money.

Virtually every TV-set in europe has an RGB input, it's the Scart
connector.
