I thank you guys for the effort and help you are giving me. I am going to head your advices, I also received an awesome email from grent. I am going to paste it here in case someone else is in the same predicament as I am will gain benefit from his awesome help. This paste goes to the credit of Grent:

Hi,

I see you are having problems with getting a IIgs monitor?

If you are ever coming over the states, I could hook you up with one. Anyways

You can use a sony TV/Monitor KV 1311. You would have to make a cable up to

the IIgs an the TV 50 pin header. I have the pin outs on how to do this.

SOMEWHERE. When I find them I will scan and save them. With this cable and set

up it you can have a 13 tv/monitor that works as well and like the IIgs

monitor only it is 1 inch larger. A couple of wires have broke off my home

made cable. So I have to fix mine as well. This cable will also work on the

Sony XBR 25 inch TV/Monitor.

You can display the 80 col with no problems. On a 25 inch set it is not as

crisp as the 13 inch. Any time you blow up the screen size you increase the

imperfections as well.

You can put a regular RCA cable to any TV/Monitor. But you will not be able to

read 80 col, or change the color of the text and background. But for a lot of

things it is ok.

You might want to try this with any LCD tvs or monitors you have. Some day I

hope to do this and take pictures of the results.

You might want to check the Craig list, or even post a listing in the wanted.

Just type in what you want to search for in the search box like "apple" and

see what comes up.

Check out this link for some other monitor choices. The atari monitors did not

hold up to well if I can remember.

Each of the URLs may contain other URLs, so take your time.

Click on the different pages at the bottom only 3 on this one. Very nice

collection, almost looks sterile.

Check out Waynes Shed and on page 2 click on any of the pictures. This has to

be Wayne Biddens since he sells a lot of stuff at a fairly high price.
