nec muliisync v520 on a1200?

Well, by default, the A1200 outputs at 15khz modes.  That monitor would need a scandoubler to see those modes.

Now, if you ONLY want workbench, you can hook up 15khz device, (so you can see) and copy the "VGAOnly" file to your monitors drawer.  Then shut the system down, connect the NEC monitor, and then power up.  The Amiga Workbench will then come up in a mode that can be displayed on that monitor.  Of course, there is a large selection of software (mostly games) that won't work properly like this.

NEC calls almost all their monitors MultiSync.  Of course they mean that it can go to most any sync in the 30-max khz.  In other words, it's not a fixed sync monitor.  Of course, I don't think a fixed sync monitor has been made since the late 80's, so it's all rather misleading terms.

AFAIK, the only NEC monitors that are true 15khz capable are the ancient NEC 1 series (basically a C=1950) and NEC 3d series.  The NEC v series are much newer and not 15khz capable.
