As you are european, youn woun't have any problems. You can connect your amiga to LCD-tv with scart cable.

Note that most of tvs doesn't have more than one fully connected scart. Second one would require this, http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=211 but unfortunately it is not possible with amiga 500 and any way picture quality is not that good.

Some tvs doesn't have any fully connected scarts, like sony bravio

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

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.

All I've tested has worked as a flicker fixer, you have had bad luck Some LCD-TVs hasn't display picture at all through scart, they have had required this http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=211 and then picture quality isn't great. A1200 has SIngle wire rgb out, A500 has also but is black and white.
