But, does the khz matter if it's going through an RBG adapter?

Yes, it matters.

When I called Sharp, the customer service rep said the Khz doesn't matter, just the resolution.

They were wrong.
In their defense, I'm sure the device works with most modern devices that use standard plugs.

That being said, I've read where people hook up Amiga's to devices that supposedly don't scan down to 15khz, and yet they work.  So some "specs" are probably what they will "support", but not necessarily what they are limited to...

For me, I have 3 Amigas currently.
Amiga 1000 - 1084S monitor
Amiga 1200 - 1084S monitor (I have 2 1084s monitors)
Amiga 500 - depends ;-)
I have an Amigamaniac svideo adapter, which works great, and I use that sometimes to hook it up to my TVs in s-video.
Works great, but none of my TVs support PAL, so it won't do 60Hz.

It's awkward bringing the Amiga out to the living room tho, so I'll probably get an svideo - RCA cable and use it on my 1702 monitor with my Vic-20.  ;-)

If Amigas did make S-Video it would be all blurry like all S-Video is.

You apparently haven't seen the screenshots of Amiga's running s-video that are posted elsewhere here.
They are very sharp...
Search for some of Cammy's screenshots of her Amiga with amigamaniac's s-video adapter.
