Almost on-topic, does anyone know if this one might work?  It accepts RGB at 15KHz and converts it to standard VGA 640x480 or 800x600.
Code 6502 asm or... DIE!!

How does the Amiga look on a LCD TV? I was thinking of getting one for the computer room my Amiga is in. I reasoned that since LCDs have to de-interlace an image to display it, that they wouldn't suffer from flicker with interlace modes? Also, a HD TV would be able to display all the standard Amiga Hi-Res resoultions wouldn't it?

I'm using the RGB to SCART cable from Amigakit to get my A600 on a 15" LCD TV.  Lo-res and hi-res looks great, almost as on a normal monitor.  Interlaced modes flicker as they did on the 1084.  Maybe other TV's will deinterlace or "deflicker" better than mine.   And, yes, it displays all the modes correctly.

What about this

MC1 Amiga Computers Store

Click on New

Scroll down to "Video to VGA adaptor $99"

Some Amiga reseller is selling it, so dunno if it would be good or not?

I think it's like one of these things.  I got one off eBay a while ago, and the quality was like.. uh.. imagine connecting your Amiga to the telly using RF again.  It was OK for gaming, but far from good enough for programming.
