Connecting to an NTSC tv will still give you trouble with PAL games and software. Monitor is better or one of the various solutions that allow youto use a VGA monitor

failing that, there is this:

Combined with an adapter for amiga monitor port to vga (amigakit sells these I believe, and vesalia does as well), and a male to male vga cable, you are in business.

It has a bit of ghosting in workbench but works a charm for games and seems fine with deluxepaint though I didnt mess with it that much.

The main question would be if it'd allow PAL to be converted to NTSC or vice versa. Without that, you're propably going to have issues still on a tv
