If you want to use an VGA monitor with an Amiga 1200 you will need to buy
an VGA adapter to convert your Amiga video signal to an VGA signal (these
cost around �10/�15 and U can buy them from any good Amiga shop [Try
Golden Image U.K. on 0181 900 9291 / www.Goldenimage.co.uk] this will
allow you to display Workbench on an VGA monitor but not any games that
don't have a screen request e.g. all none workbench games/ Games that run
on your TV.

In VGA mode your workbench screen will not flicker either, but PAL modes
are not displayed on the VGA monitor. If you want to play games on an VGA
monitor as well as Workbench you will have to invest in a Scandoubler
which will set you back for around �75 - this will play all your Amiga
games on your VGA monitor , and the picture quality is much better than
your old Commordore monitor.

If you want to stop your Interlaced Workbench screens from flickering you
will have to buy the Scandoubler with flicker fixer for around �119.95
which should make your amiga screen as good if not better than a PC screen
and you can play a good old game of SWOS on it as well :) (you can get the
scandoubler / Flicker fixer from www.eyetech.co.uk)
I hope all of this information helps you but if U R still puzzled why not
