Thanks to all on the net who responded to my request for leads for a large
screen display for a Mac + or SE. Following are the responses received.
I've contacted some of the companies listed and the possibilities look
promising.

A Mac II comes standard with a 12 or 13" screen.
I presume that a board for the SE supports such a screen,
but don't own an SE, so can't say for sure.
I doubt there's anything cheaper than a Radius FPD
(~~ $1500 from ComputerWare) for the Mac Plus, since it's
now officially obsolete when it comes to expandability.

I saw an add in a magazine within the last 4 weeks or so for a monitor for
the mac that is basically a larger version of the Mac screen (ie you don't
get anymore on the screen its just bigger). It cost around $300. I have not
been able to locate the add to give you more specifics. If I do find it
I will let you know.

I just found the ad for the large screen. I hope this message gets to you
before the other. It is on page 18 of the Oct. issue of MACazine. The
monitor is called the ProAPP EyeSaver. Its suggested retail price is $395.
The ad doesn't say but it looks like a 12 or 13 inch monitor. The address is
Logic Array
2 Faraday,
Irvine, CA 92718
(714)586-7700
Hope this helps.

If what you want is a larger screen with the same number of pixels as
the standard Mac screen, such a screen is available from
Power R
1904 N 45th
Seattle, WA
(206) 547-8000
I have seen these demonstrated but have not used one for anything
serious. They do work with MacPlusses and (I think ) there is an SE
version. The price was in the neighborhood of $200 as I recall.
I hope this helps.

Hi,
Just wanted to let you know that in either the first or second issue
of Mac-A.P.P.L.E., the mac version of Call-APPLE (What used to be the Apple
Puget-Sound Program Library Exchange, hence the name) there was an ad for
a 12" monitor and adapter that would work with 512's, plus's (and possibly
with a different board) SE's. The total price, for members of the Call-APPLE
collective is $340. !!! Amazing. I'm going to post a mention of it to
the people who were interested in finding out about eyestrain. I'm pretty
sure that it keeps the same number of bits across and down, just a larger
tube.
However, I just want to reiterate what 99.999% of mac users have found
out: that the 9" screen is SO SHARP that it's much better than almost all other
tubes I've ever used -- I'd really not want a larger screen, unless it had
much more resolution and a similar clarity.
