I picked up an A500 recently. All I have for a display

not, where can I get an appropriate monitor?
For my Amiga DVD (shameless plug: www.mindcandydvd.com), I used the
Amiga RGB-to-15-pin-VGA adapter, then fed the VGA into a scan converter,
which then converted it to component output. I used a broadcast-quality
converter because Amigas use broadcast rates, ie. a horizontal scanning
frequency of 15.7KHz. Most el-cheapo scan converters expect traditional
VGA input (31.4Khz horizontal) and may not work properly, as most modern
monitors might not either (although LCD monitors might, haven't tried).
