Electronically, a PDS video card would do that, but has the aesthetic issue which you rightly raise.
One alternative for Mystics might be the Power_R_Presenter which clips onto the graphics chip on a 575 l/b. I actually have one (somewhere!), but never got round to trying it. There happens to be one on eBay at the moment, with a nice photo at:

I'v always thought that this might be a neat approach to a Mystic/LCD CC.
From my cruising of the VGA mod literature for CCs it seems clear to me that a conventional Mac video signal is passed from the logic board to the analogue board anyway. Could this not be tapped off at the end of the logic board somehow?
