There are several displays you can use for emulation. Some are better than others.

CRT Tvs

- Can display a wide range of resolutions up to 480p.

- no input delay

- very fast response time

- True Black

- Wide viewing angle

How to connect to a CRT Tv:

- Wii would be easiest. Can output to 240p

- VGA to RCA and S-Video converter box. Outputs to 480i

CRT monitors

- All benefits of a CRT TV besides native inputs for actual hardware

- 480p mode (lower with some tricks, such as doubling the refresh rate to 120Hz, Beware of motion blur)

- Easy to connect to a computer

- Larger resolutions available, often massive

- Not as large as many TVs, rarely larger than 19" or 21"

LCD

120hz displays with hacks can display motion at the same level as a CRT tv. See:
