Similar to the IIci, the IIsi has built in video (256 colors), therefore
a slot is not lost by hooking up a monitor.  Any monitor that works with 
the apple 8 bit display card will work with the built in display on the
IIsi.  This is good since the IIsi has only one expansion slot.  Any 
monitor that requires a special display card will use up your expansion
slot, and in order to use it you'll need to buy the NuBus adaptor card.

If you want to use the above mentioned monitors at separate times you
might be ok, otherwise you won't have any expansion slots left.  

I have heard of a product for the IIsi that is a box with 6 NuBus slots
that plugs directly into the slot in the IIsi without the adaptor.  If
you find that you need more slots you might look into this, or look into
getting a IIci instead.
