Depends on how much you want to spend and whether you can find
the required hardware.

If you get a FlickerFree Video II board for A500/A2000, they fit
between the Denise chip and its socket on the motherboard, giving
you VGA out.  Prices vary wildly and they're not available new.

You could just get a DB-23 to HDD-15 convertor box (buffer) and
use the VGA-Only monitor definition and MULTISCAN monitor
definitions if you have WB3.1 (might also work with 2.0, I don't
recall).

Finally, the best solution IMHO would be to get an external
scandoubler which you could use with ANY Amiga (and some have
flickerfixers available, too).  Availability is almost NIL: for
these, but BioCon and Apollo are supposed to be releasing some
"Real Soon Now".  I plan to get one.

Micronik also makes an external scandoubler.
