Can an Apple IIc Flat Panel Display be used on any other computer?

One of the things I've seen people talking about is the Night Owl LCD display. They are small-ish color displays originally meantfor surveillance, and there are intermittently a lot available on eBay. They work well with 8-bit Apple II video output (and IIgs if you're using it as a fast IIe) and they're small.

I believe but I'm not 100% sure that this is the one.

Here is a blog post from Quinn Dunki from when she first discovered the Night Owl: http://quinndunki.com/blondihacks/?p=1998

Those monitors should work for other systems that use composite output. Some people said they were pleased with how it looks on the IIgs running GS/OS, but I haven't seen it myself, nor do I have any links to photos off hand.

Here's my Apple //c with the Prairie Portable System and power back and C-Vue LCD screen sold by Roger Coates in 1987 (recently restored and upgraded with the BMOW Floppy EMU).  I used this in 1988 at the Cannes Film Festival with a 1200 baud pocket modem to keep in touch with the home office in Los Angeles and swap files:
