I haven't seen an Amstrad for at least 20 plus years, but, from memory they were 100% proprietry. So, I am guessing you'll need an original monitor. They used to come with a manual that was 3 inches thick. Made a really good door stop. Good luck, hope you find it.
Just had a thought, in one of the UK Comp mags I can't remember which one, it has a section in the back with a For sale and a part that people ask if anyone has this or that part, might be worth a look. The adverts are free and the mag cost about £2.00.
