I've had great results from the Highway 100 scan converter.  It's a bit 
pricey, but produces a rock-solid scan-doubled image from my Amiga 2000 in 
interlaced 640x480 mode.  It even supports the somewhat (well, very) 
oddball color output from an Apple IIgs.

Unfortunately, 4:3 LCD displays in sizes much above 17" are simply not 
manufactured anymore.  The vendors have decided that all anyone wants to 
do on a computer is watch video content, I guess.  Probably need to watch 
eBay.
