Tough. I went through this a couple years ago. You mostly have to just try it, so get at a place that allows easy exchange. I ended up with a Toshiba for my SD display, I am surprised how good it looks. [I am definitely no Toshiba fan, it just worked out the best for what I wanted (Oppo music display at home and portable for cottage viewing). They seem a lot better quality now than the pretenders they've been for the last few decades IMO.]

The CF will be a lesser issue to PQ than the (IMO/E) horrible upscaling of SD material by the display. Since even dirt cheap current HDMI players do a fairly decent job of upscaling, display manufacturers bother trying even less these days. Besides that so few people seem to really care. So that external scaler would probably be a good idea. Also, don't assume a 720p display will look worse with SD than a 1080p one. And the display has the least chance of looking crappy with SD the smaller the display size. To match a 4:3 27" you'll need well into the 30s of 16:9, probably a 42" to make it worthwhile. If you really really care about PQ you wouldn't be looking at "LED" displays, but yes there are good reasons for LCD, just not absolute PQ so much...
