I have an A4000D 060 with a cybervision & a flicker fixer that goes through a HP 22" monitor that works good (VGA).
I also run my PC through the same monitor using DVI, when using the A600 or A1200 I put them through a USB Easycap dongle using the software supplied http://www.amazon.co.uk/Easycap-Capture-Adapter-Supports-Professional-software/dp/B002BX4WSA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1326313611&sr=8-2 does the job and its a cheap (recordable) alternative.

Isn't there a "single" multisync monitor that can do proper 15khz 50hz that's still in production and affordable for retro hardware users?  Aren't we a profitable enough group?

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 flatscreen TV for it. If I find anything that works, I'll share it, as well.
 
Thanks![/QUOTE

I have an Amiga 4000/040. My monitor died. I have replaced it with a bog standard flatscreen lcd television from Curry's. Its called Curry's Essentials model number C16LDIB11A. It works better than the original thing and costs about £80. It needed a SCART cable which I bought from the nice people at AmigaKit. The telly comes with a converter to make the SCART connection go from large to little. No bother an no nerdy stuff, just plug it in and go.

As probably mentioned by others, the Dell ST2320L will work, and works great.
 
I actually have both PC and amiga hooked up to it (amiga through vga adapter, pc through DVI-D or whatever on earth it's called). Its a great monitor, and no fiddling about.

Any idea if its smaller sibling, the ST2220L, will also work? Thanks.

Supposedly they are very similar, but I can't guarantee anything :(

Hmm... It's not like I need another monitor, but would like to replace the ageing and very curved (!) MicroVitec I've got connected to a host of legacy devices via a VGA switchbox.
