Glance over the Commodore 64 + Vic20 specs, looks like any (old) composite monitor will work, so long as you have a Vic20 cable.

The monitor for those was a TV - specifically an old tube based TV. &nbsp;If you find one with the right inputs, I would expect it to work. &nbsp;However, I'd expect it to work with the quality/resolution an old Atari game system would... i.e., don't expect a clear, sharp image.

You need pure old VGA (640x480) and most likely nothing newer and then yes that should work.

Commodore 64 Vic 20 monitor compatibility

A monitor or a display is an electronic visual display for computers, usually comprised of the display device, circuitry, casing, and power supply. The display device in modern monitors is typically a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) thin panel, while older monitors used a cathode ray tube (CRT) about as deep as the screen size. They are connected to the computer via VGA, DVI, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, LVDS or other proprietary connectors and signals.
