Hello. I don't know what resolution you want to play with, but NTSC/PAL will go up to 640x512 (or 1280x512, if you want to do that), but a reasonably high quality tv should work for that. LCD flat-screen tv's would work, too. As far as scandoubling is concerned, you definatly want an external one. The internal one I'm using scandoubles both the RGB port AND the composite/RF modulated ports. I learned this by trying to video tape a browsing session on my VCR, and it didn't work that well.... (I had a VCR plugged into my 1200 for recording MPG animations and such to tape) Now I have a 20" SVGA montior, but no NTSC ability because of the internal scandoubler. If you have 2 amigas, you could use an internal for one, and dedicate the other for video work, though. (My old 1200 without the scandouble is set up for this purpose, and will become the video machine as soon as I get a prism compatible wireless card for her.)
