You can buy an adapter that allows you to use a VGA Monitor, these are relatively cheap - However most VGA Monitors won't show a lot of Amiga Screenmodes as the scan rate is too low.

A lot of people use TV Monitors with a 23pin to Scart Cable which gives good results, also certain models of monitors will show Amiga screenmodes.

You can also buy a board which plugs onto the chips inside your A1200 and will convert all modes to a DVI Connector, some older models have a VGA Connector - These are known as Scandoublers or Flickerfixers - The Latest Indivision models are great as they work very nicely with LCD Monitors, whereas some older units don't always bump up the scanrate quite enough.
