If you're using a stock 130XE, then a TV (connected via the monitor port) will probably be fine.

If you plan to modify the video output, you'll have a wider range of options.

I'll be using a stock 130xe and was going to try s video cable on ebay with a new lg 23" lcd (m237wd-pm) but I don't know if it will work right,I have been reading all the forums and some say it works perfect and some say there is vertical lines,the tv I have is to big.I do want to do some mods in the the future but since its been about 22 years since I touched a 8bit it will be some time befor that.
