1. Is the picture really that bad through a modern PAL TV, using scart or a composite connection?
Running the AMiGA on a modern PAL TV together with a scart (connected to the RGB-port on the back of the A1200) produces SUPERB quality of the picture. You will not remove the flicker from the interlaced modes, but the picture will still be sharp. In non-interlaced modes it will be perfect.
2. How much is a scan doubler/ flicker fixer thingy?
You will find them priced somehwere between $80 - $150 ...but I would say that the higher range is more probable. Though, you should be aware that you can not find any AMiGA specific scandoubler to use with your A1200 that can handle AGA (256 colours on screen)... while green looks good (all 256 variations), you will have only 16 shades of blue and red to toy around with (or is it green and blue? I can't recall this very minute). This is due to the sd/ff:s being only 16-bit, not 24-bit. So... if you want perfect AGA shown on your VGA monitor an AMiGA specific sd/ff is NOT the way to go.
3. Mark mentions "Get a composite -> VGA adapter and connect to VGA monitor" but I'm guessing I'll get flicker that needs fixing this way?
Composite -> VGA adapter? That way you will loose rather some amount of quality of the picture since you are no longer working with a pure RGB signal. If one is talking about an RGB -> VGA adapter, on the other hand, you wouldn't lose quality but it wouldn't work well with games (only the ones that supports being promoted into different screenmodes, which is very very few).
