So, should I assume that this (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00041418&lc=en&cc=th&dlc=en&product=348756&lang=en) monitor won't work with a regular old Amiga 2000? I wanna know if I should bother getting the proper cable.
edit:
This might be the relevant info from that link:
Horizontal Frequency (analog mode) 30 to 82 kHz
Vertical Refresh Rate (analog mode) 56 to 76 Hz

Is anyone hosting a "monitors that work" list anywhere?

Looks like all I'd need is a gender changer. I have a 9 to 15 pin converter thing, so I take it that all I really need to do is to connect my A2000 to the monitor without some kind of intermediary signal processing box. Am I unwrong?

You need a scandoubler since the Amiga 2000 outputs at 15khz (unless you have a gfx card but then you won't see the native modes)

Erg.
Will a video toaster do? There's a VT4000 in there.

If you use DoublePAL/DoubleNTSC modes: yes.
You need one of the rare monitors that sync down to 15 kHz horizontally if you want to play games/demos without any extra hardware (scandoubler, vga box, etc)

No, a Toaster is only useful for videoproduction, not for showing the Workbench on a VGA monitor. Besides, the toaster also outputs 15khz...
