I picked up one of these for multiple reasons, one of which was to possibly
use it with the VidHD in my Apple IIs:
https://amzn.to/2vzHfwG
It's basically a notebook screen without the rest of the notebook. It has
mini-HDMI and USB-C inputs and a native resolution of 1920x1080. Power is
supplied through USB-C, whether with video on the same cable or video on
HDMI.
With the VidHD, image size ends up being roughly the same as on the IIGS RGB
monitor, if not a little bit bigger. It's a bit wider than a IIGS, but
would probably sit atop a IIe without (or with less) overhang. If your
computer has an upgraded power supply, you might even bring out 5V to a USB
connector so the screen gets its power from the computer.
Maybe I can finally unload that NEC MultiSync 3D that's taking up space in
my closet. :)

Nice looking screen, might get a bit steep in $AU though :/ You know if you lose the Multi-sync as soon as you do you'll have a need for it. :)
