Hey

I bought this

http://www.amiga-hardware.com/showhardware.cgi?HARDID=363

Its a scan magic internal scan doubler for A4000 and A1200 .

Could i use any VGA monitor or just CRT ?

Generally anything should be OK, though the Scan Magic has been reported to be a little fussy with certain LCDs. 50Hz (PAL) may be a problem with many LCDs.

IMHO, I'd say 50Hz (PAL) *WILL* without exception be a problem with *ALL* LCDs.

Usually, though I have a Samsung and a couple of Eizos that handle 50Hz OK.

Interesting.
Can you disclose a type of Samsung unit capable of syncing to 50Hz?
It mist be some pre-2001 era model...

Sure, it's a 740T, an older PVA unit, circa 2004 IIRC. (Comes up as "567i" in the info window at 50Hz.) The Eizo I use most is a little 15" L367 (for perfect 1024x768 with the PIV), it also handles 50Hz OK, and scales native modes *very* well with some tweaking.
