Another question about these junky monitors? You're killing me for real, now. ;)

CD32 lacks a standard Amiga 23-pin monitor output, but various add-on boards exist like the SX-1 and SX32 which add one. Without one of these boards you're limited to hooking the CD32 up to devices which support it's built-in composite, S-Video, or RF output (i.e., the 1084 monitor has composite input). With an add on board, the CD32 becomes basically like an Amiga 1200. There's even a model of Indivision available for the CD32, for when you're ready to step it up to a real monitor. ;)

TL;DR. Here you go: http://bit.ly/1ySqKEP

If I really wanted to do a CD32 right, I'd get one of the Indivision MkII's with a DVI output, then use a DVI-to-HDMI converter or one of Kipper2K's adapters or cables, and plug that sucker into something like a modern 65" TV. That would be kinda bad-ass, IMHO. Although on a screen that big the pixels would be the size of dinner plates, LOL. ;)

It will work with the composite output from the CD32.

Not without some serious hacking.  The 1940/1942 doesn't have composite input, like the 1084-series does.  At least according to this picture on BBOAH:

As was already mentioned, you'd want to get an SX-1 or SX32 to use normal Amiga RGB out for this type of montior, then you'd have access to all the screenmodes as an A1200 (if you're going to be installing Workbench on it, rather than just playing games off CD).
