Hum,
 all TFT  are expensive (and slow to refresh)...

So what is your amiga hardware like ?
Do you have a a scandoubler or graphics card?
(er, as you know, you need these cos most monitors doesn't sync down to standard Amiga signal rates).

And i suppose that you would want to run NTSC?
...You may find that certain monitors only work in either PAL or NTSC...(Test in the Early Startup Menu)...


My advice is (for that price) i would take my amiga into the shop and plug a cheep monitor into it to see
if it worked, and what the picture quality was like...


I bet they will be too shocked to refuse...

Hum,
perhaps i was wrong on that one....

Er, unless i`m a hardened Quake 3 gamer that requires the fastest refresh to be able to play on nightmare level...


[and with the cost of 20" CTR at the £100 level, it`s a no contest, for me]

Hum,
 the high end sony and NEC CRT monitors might be able to  decode the signal because they an sync down to 15Mhz?

 And all monitors have different ranges (hovering about the 31.5Mhz region ...15x2...doubler), so you may get a weird (and cheap) one  that may sync down to that range...

~ 31.5 - 31.5 kHz (Standard VGA monitor, 640x480 @ 60 Hz)
# 31.5 - 35.1 kHz (Old SVGA monitor, 800x600 @ 56 Hz)
# 31.5 - 35.5 kHz (Low-end SVGA, 8514, 1024x768 @ 43 Hz interlaced)
# 31.5 - 37.9 kHz (SVGA monitor, 800x600 @ 60 Hz, 640x480 @ 72 Hz)
# 31.5 - 48.3 kHz (SVGA non-interlaced, 800x600 @ 72 Hz, 1024x768 @ 60 Hz)
# 31.5 - 56.0 kHz (high frequency, 1024x768 @ 70 Hz)
# 31.5 - ???? kHz (1024x768 @ 72 Hz)
# 31.5 - 64.3 kHz (1280x1024 @ 60 Hz)
