As an alternative to what Chris said, you could buy a so called flicker 
fixer or a scan doubler - this little tool plugs into the Amiga's RGB 
output and has a VGA connector. Not too expensive, very easy to use.

Or buy a Zorro 2 graphic board with VGA output. Don't think about it if 
you're not prepared to spend a lot of money...
