if you have the adapter for it the old NEC Multisync used to be one of the best for all Amiga screen modes

Get a flickerfixer/Scandoubler and you can run a huge LCD flat screen with your miggy!

If you're only using your Amiga for games and simple workbench stuff, you should look out for a cheap Commodore 1084 monitor. There are still a lot of these around...
Shouldn't set you back for more than 15 Euros/20 dollars.

If I'm not mistaken I have 6 of those on a shelf in my basement. They're never used, so for packaging and postage I could send you one.
Don't know how I should get it packaged thorougly, though. But I guess my post office could help there :)
With danish postal fees 15 to 20 euros is probably what it would cost you (haven't checked, though).

Hi,

Not sure if the Acorn Archimedes ever made it to Australia, but if so, you can often find cheap Acorn-branded monitors that are re-badged Microvitec 1438s, and compatible with all OCS/ECS/AGA modes including those at 15KHz. The monitors are a bit basic, but will go up to 800x600 @ 60Hz.

Check eBay and any local education establishments!

Or, if you can persuade an NZ seller to ship to Australia, check TradeMe (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Computers/Vintage/auction-81726998.htm) (and in this case, the monitor comes with a free computer!)
