The standard sRGB or HDTV monitor covers about 70% of NTSC, mostly due to the yellower green. In fact, since LCDs don't have the purity problems that a CRT can have, and also have blacker blacks, they will do as well as the 15GP22. especially in the lowlights. The only drawback I can think of is that wide gamut monitors are generally more expensive.

By the way, 70% is measured on the 1931 chromaticity diagram, which does not correspond to uniformly perceptual color space, so you are really losing considerably less than 30% of perceivable NTSC color space in a HDTV; but the differences in greens and cyans should be noticeable.
So, if I understand correctly, an LCD with close to 100% Adobe RGB is the probably the closest gamut match to the 15GP22, but may be expensive. And since its image size cannot be adjusted it will have to be about a 15" diagonal 4:3 or a 17" 16:9. Seems like most monitors are big these days so it may be tough to find one that meets this.
