I searched and didn't find any such threads...
For everyone who has hooked up their Amiga to a monitor/ TV, please...please, share how you did it, so others can do the same thing without buying a monitor only to find out that they have to return it.
1) Which Amiga do you have? 500, 1000, 1200?
2) Which monitor, TV are you using? Model #?
3) Did you use an adapter? Which one?
4) How did you get everything to work together?
5) Please share pics.
This thread can be a collection for all the info, rather than scattered on the forum.
As for me, I have an Amiga 500 and am currently looking for a TV for it. If I find anything that works. I'll share it, as well.
Thanks!
1: I have every Amiga model of computer... Many times.
2: Native I use a Microvitec... A4000s use a Picasso IV and Mitsubishi or IIyima
3: No adaptors ... I just plug the Amiga or Graphics card into the monitor
4: I just plugged it in, though the Picasso uses software.

PPS Composite Jack: The Amiga was a video editing tool of the late 80s early 90s
A1200:
VIDEO port A 23-pin male port for attaching an analog RGB
monitor to view the Amiga`s video output
COMP jack An RCA jack for attaching a composite video
monitor or connecting a vido cassette recorder.
RF MODULATOR An RCA jack for connecting to a television.
The associated controls vary depending on whether the Amiga
is NTSC or PAL
VIDEO
VIDEO port Analog RGB monitor (multiscan/15kHz/VGA/SVGA)
Television with SCART connection
RGB monitors
Multiscan A Multiscan ( multiple horizontal scan rate or
"multi-sync" ) RGB monitor provides the greatest flexibility
A multiscan monitor is required if you wish to use display modes
that have different horizontal scan rates
A 15 kHz analog RGB monitor can display only the Amiga`s
default display mode and other 15 kHz scan rate modes
A VGA or SVGA type monitor can display the Amiga`s
de-interlaced and higher resolution modes, but not the standard
15 kHz video modes
SCART With the proper adaptor cable, a television with a
SCART input can be used as a 15 kHz RGB Monitor.
