Want to buy a portable SD. I know of the Chinese ones on ebay, would like other non expensive options as well.

Love the sweet Cola, but what is an MVP 1200 and a portable SD?

Oh an external scan doubler!  An internal will give better results, but isn't portable.  The MV1200 will be hard to find; have you thought of an SCART to HDMI converter?  The cost would be the cable plus the €40 converter.

I am in the US, don't have a scart LCD. Yeah, trying to get something affordable for now, but not that chinese one off ebay or that crazy expensive A2 something.

Yeah, I'm in the states too; I got my $25 SCART cable from Amigakit and the $45 SCART to HDMI from eBay. I tried the external thing and it is the same as composite.

Part Two:  the guys who developed the Video Toaster were musing in the beginning that computers had become so powerful that they could direct a laser against a piece of bread controlled by a microCPU to produce a perfect slice of toast.

I think the image of lets say (Igor Tramielski ...my avatar would ) work if jesus wasn't available for toasting. I love the whole story of commodore, hence why I picked his pic...IMO we wouldn't have had anything after a1000 at all had they not stepped in.

What is the quality of RGB->SCART->HDMI? Do you notice a lot of blurriness or flickering?

Look into the cheap GB1000 or whatever its called. Its a cheap $35 chinese arcade to vga conveter works well with amiga. Lots of threads online about it.

yeah, i wanna go external for a couple reasons, no external modding and works with more than one system. Eventually want to get into repair too, so external would be good for that.

It looks quite good and scales to fit the 1080p of my 32" Monitor.  HiRES is not perfect, but in only my opinion, it is about a two-fold improvement in the GBS-8220 and that other piece of eBay junk (RGB RGsB RGBS With Hf 15Khz to VGA Scan Line Doubler Amiga).  There are pictures on Amibay.
