The Video out on the A1000 is color. It looks really nice too. Much cleaner picture than the A520 I always thought. (A520 is what you use on an A500 to get Video output. As the A500 didn't have video out standard) The A2000 had composite out, but it was B/W.
I think what you need to do 23 pin to VGA (then on to DVI) is a FlickerFixer as Amiga is 15khz and VGA is 31khz.
