I am suprised no one had responded to this yet. I would like to get an 15" or 17" LCD for may a A2000 but first I need a graphics card or Indivision ECS. I have NEC XV 17+  multisync I haven't been able to try on the Amiga yet. It works great on the pc, it only syncs down to 31kHz though.

I know someone on this forum mentioned they were using an HP Pavilion mx70 17" with their Amiga 1200. I am using the same monitor right now on my pc, I got say it is one of the best quality monitors I have owned.

I forgot to mention the mx70 is a CRT monitor.

I would also add the image looks better to me than a lot of the LCD monitors I have used, including the newer TFT types.

Here's a little video of my Amiga LCD solution - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kaz6fNpHYIg

Wow! I haven't seen so many Amiga in the same room in years. I was looking at a simple Amiga 23 pin RGB to S-video from Hello World Cables Connectivity Products, I was also considering this http://cgi.ebay.com/15Khz-RGB-CGA-Component-Video-to-VGA-Converter-Scaler_W0QQitemZ120340188651QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item1c04d58deb

This looks like a very good option! I hope he gets more in stock soon.

 I wished my wife was into Amigas, actually she liked when it was about doing graphics, but after I started to live, breath and eat Amigas it was a bit much for her. She still likes and admires the Amiga though.

 Do you know if this rgb/s-video converter can work with 31khz (DBLNTSC/PAL)? I am unclear if S-video is able to even carry 31khz or if it is limited to 15khz. I never really gave it thought before.

@tone007 Thanks for clearing that up, It would be cool if I did have that magic display though, unnecessary but cool.

Does anyone make an Amiga rgb to componet cable?

I wasn't very successful in finding more info on the 19" MXT LCD1904HDD either.
