I was thinking about this solution, but then not sure about wide screen in general...

Haven't seen in person but I don't think it fills the screen properly.. ie. big black border..

I've got a indivision mk2 on order too, I've got 2x 4:3 lcd's here waiting :)

Why not recommend a GBS8200 from ebay..  Just need to make a cable for it and I've heard of decent results with it..  Its only $30USD and can convert other video modes if you happen to like old pccceeeee's ie CGA/EGA..

I've only read about mixed results with those boards.

I don't know of its anything like this one which was what i used before the 2320, but if so then i'd definitely pass.

Nope, that particular converter has had bad reviews from other forums..   Your better off with the one available from Amiga Maniac. http://www.amigamaniac.com/RGB_to_PAL_NTSC_adapter.html

Below is a link to basically a GS8200 in a custom box selling for a crazy stupid high price haha with extremely rare reference ROFL, but it has some pictures to show the image quality.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Amiga-Flickerfixer-Scandoubler-A500-A600-A1200-A1000-A2000-A3000-A4000-/200724109892?pt=UK_VintageComputing_RL&hash=item2ebc16da44

Also the GS8200 has a good thread over at http://www.amibay.com/showthread.php?t=20468
