I have a stock A1200 with an Idek 5017 SP monitor. IMHO, the image
quality is excellent. However, you should know that I am not a video
professional and some fine points may be escaping me. Also, I am more
used to the PC monitors I use at work, but I prefer the Idek to any of
them (Mitsubishi 15FS, NEC, and Nanao). Have just tried switching thru
the various modes and I believe that the auto-centering is less than
perfect. Also, some modes change the size of the Workbench screen so it
occupies the upper or left half of the screen only. With my admittedly
limited knowledge of Amiga video modes, this may be normal. Finally,
there is a small black border in DblNTSC resolution (~?").

There is a list of monitors capable of 15KHz which I downloaded from one
of the Amiga forums here called MONINF.LHA. It includes over 20 monitors.
If you want I can CMail it to you. Also, if you'd like, I would be
willing to run any tests you can devise on my monitor to give you further
information.
