I'd strongly recommend a Multisync II.  I use one here in the lab with
an Amiga 2000 and I have one at home with a Flicker Fixer.  The video
looks much better than on the 1080, 2002, 1080, or Sony monitor/tv
combo.  To hook it up, just buy a cable from just about any mail
order place or a local dealer.  For best results, get a flicker fixer
and build a little T-switch box to switch between FF video and
standard video.  It works GREAT! I have heard people say you can't
use an NEC Multisync with interlace but I have done it with
3 multisyncs and 2 Amigas. Works fine. They also have this setup
at one of the local dealers.
	I do know that improper cabling will confuse the multisync
and cause it to miss behave in interlace mode but a properly made
cable (available by mail order) works perfectly.  Should cost
under $20.
