How to test my Amiga, and did I get Amiga 500 or 500 PLUS?

Depending how nostalcig you feel, Commodore color monitor is ok or not, compared to LCD-tv wich would have nice flicker free/rock steady hires picture. No need to have flicker fixer/scan doubler

But most LCD/plasma tv's don't flicker fix do they? I'm pondering whether to get an LCD tv that I can connect via scart with built in de-interlacing (anyone know what model does a good job?) or whether to just get an IndyAGAMkII with an up to date brand new monitor (again, any recommendations for use with the IndyMkII?). Help me!

All LCD-TVs does flicker fix, if don't there is a problem. I've tested about a 8 different models, all of them has done that. Some LCD monitors wich can display amiga modes doesn't flicker fix, but all tvs should do that.

Today I tested old Video Seven 27" lcd tv and picture quality was great.

A few years ago I tested my sister's LCD tv. It was only a cheap brand (Acoustic Solutions) but that didn't de-interlace at all so was no good for Hires Lace mode (which I'd want to use with Workbench).
