Depends what you are using your A2000 for.  If it's mainly for games there is a good S-Video adaptor available which will give you a good picture on a good TV.

I have a V1 and V2.
Otherwise there are lots of video/RTG cards out there for the A2000.
A2320 - CBM Display Card that fits in the video slot to the right of the Pwr supply.  Works well on old CRT Monitors.
Picasso II, III, IV + others.
These cards can go for $100s on ebay.
Then there is the Indvision ECS....
Have a look here for the different types sometimes available:

I've tried various scandoublers (PicassoIV, Amber..) and none of them are as good as C=1084 monitor.
The colors are just not as vibrant. and its the same with LCD or CRT VGA monitors.

(haven't tried that Indivision, but doubt its much different)


Have you tried the A2320 with a CRT VGA Monitor?  
I have to admit the old CBM Monitor at 15k had a different "depth" to the colour that does seem more "washed out" on RTGs etc.

(Apologies I called it an A2340 in my original post. Edited now.)
