I've seen boards like this used to convert output from things like old video games machines and even Color Computer 3s to VGA.
And they're fairly cheap.
It can probably be done.

I have read on the forums that this converter is not that great and it costs $100, so why not get this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/CGA-EGA-YUV-TO-VGA-arcade-video-converter-US-Seller-/321056801934?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ac07a048e and it's only $27. Yes, it's not the best, but it works.
There are many guides on Amiga forums showing you how to wire it to your Amiga.

I'm sure it's a good alternative but the problem for me is that I don't have experience in assembling electronics. So, I'd need something plug-n-play.

Exactly what are you looking for that has to be "plug&play?"

What I mean by that is that I'm looking for a RGB To VGA adapter for my A1200, that is ready to connect my miggy to an LCD monitor; the simpler the better.
