As you are european, youn woun't have any problems. You can connect your amiga to LCD-tv with scart cable.

Note that most of tvs doesn't have more than one fully connected scart. Second one would require this, http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=211 but unfortunately it is not possible with amiga 500 and any way picture quality is not that good.

Some tvs doesn't have any fully connected scarts, like sony bravio

Well all LCD and plasma tv's I've owned have had 2x fully connected scart's every time.
I guess I've been lucky then.

Also where I live a scart switch box costs like 2-4$ so no big costs to get more ports.

It's quite easy to get your hands on cheep LCD 4:3 around 20" nowadays for 100$.
I've bought 2x 20" LCD tv's with scart for 90$ each.
