You'll never find a PC monitor which support 15KHz horizontal scan rate and 50Hz vertical refresh rate through the VGA socket.

LCDTV or Plasma would be a better way to go but remember you'll need to connect via the SCART socket.

Edit: I was told the Acorn monitor I have is multisync, I will go check the model number.

Multisync does not mean anything these days. All it means is the monitor is not a fixed frequency monitor. Back in the old days it meant it support 15KHz and 31KHz but now it could be 31KHz+.

Multisync no longer means a monitor supports 15KHz

As you can see from this document, AKF5x series supports 15KHz will work fine with a sync dongle and an Amiga.

It will however flicker enough to trigger an epilepsy seizure when displaying 50Hz interlaced modes. :-)

The flicker will be much more apparent than say a CRT TV using RGB SCART due to the low persistence phosphor of the monitor. (But it will also be a lot sharper!)
