I'm not sure how many of those Microvitec monitors made it across the pond!  I've never seen one, and a quick check of EBay came up empty.  They list a 140s at the Microtec website which is available, but no price shown.

I think Jens Indivision scandoubler is likely the best (and cheapest) solution if you don't have a compatible monitor.

I'll avoid the tech aspects of this and just say, don't think it will work because the LCD can't interpret the standard Amiga output signal.  You won't be able to view standard Amiga screens on the LCD and nothing in your connection chain does a conversion to "double" the scan lines.

You've asked earlier about what scandoubler you should be looking for.  Part of being an Amiga owner seems to be having patience.  I'd keep my 1084 for a bit and wait for Jens to release the A4000 version of his Indivision.  This would hook up to your LCD nicely.  I'm afraid most of the Amiga scandoublers I've tried didn't work with my Samsung LCD.

Patience...the proper product appears to be on the way!
