I'd agree with the Cub as one choice.  I'm not sure which other.  It
depends on what supports most modes.  I have an AKF53 on a 4-way KVM
switch in the workshop, to which I have connected a BBC B's RGB output
(without any level-shifting), an Archimedes, and a PC's VGA card.  All work.

You might also check out some low-cost flat-screen monitors.  Some of 
them are designed to work as TV displays, and will handle horizontal 
rates in the 15kHz range as well as signals in the VGA (etc) ranges.
