What kind?  Which connector on the Amiga?  Cabling?

According to the Sony product information that I have, the KV-1311CR
has an Aperature Grill Pitch of .37 mm.  This is better than the 1080
monitor (.39 mm), but not as good as the 1070 (.31 mm).

I'd be interested to know how well it works out, and what kind of
cabling you came up with.  I'd also be intested to know what a Sony
CPD-900 or CPD-1201 monitor looks like on the Amiga.  They both have
a .25 mm pitch, but have 640x240 and 800x240 (respectively) dot
resolution.  Would the difference in dots cause the screen to look
screwy and out of proportion?
