I have just converted my A600 and A1200 to output in S-Video or SVHS, using a simple hack I found somewhere on the net. I have the 600 hooked up to my 69cm Flat screen TV in the living room and the quality is comparable to the 1084s. I am using the 1200 through a TV capture card on the PC which outputs to an old TFT 17" monitor. Both are nice options, but the Flat screen TV is better quality. I'm considering buying a smaller pure flat TV now to use with the 1200, as I'm so impressed with the output. And yes you can see and clearly read the text on the screen, unlike composite output. :-D
