I wanted to share a short review (written with my S4)
about this little gem of a monitor.
One of the few of its kind, used in medical centers for displaying endoscopies and cathetherizations, this Monitor works great with our Amigas.
The picture is crisp, you can connect at least three different sources but will need to make your own cable or use y/c for the cd32 or cdtv. It has BNC inputs for rgb as well as a sync signal which you can get from your amiga rgb video port.
The cool thing is it recognizes PAL and NTSC, so rare here in the USA which lacks the good old euro scart connectors.
It has a 20 inch Trinitron P22 phosphorus tube which displays wonderful pictures. Since I used the indivision in the past until I found this baby, I found watching demos or playing games which depend on smooth scrolling, the indivision and the tfts i used are no match for this gem.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Now the pros and cons:
Pros:
1. Quality of picture is outstanding. No lag or scrolling artefact.
2. On screen display
3. Compatible to PAL and NTSC as well as 110V/220V, so it is really a worldwide useable system
4. Has input and output, you could use multiple ones to display one Amiga on 2 monitors, great for 2 or multiplayer gaming if you have the space
5. Multiple color temperature settings possible, no as limited as LCDs which have usually only 3 settings.
Cons:
1. Size and weight: this is a beast to ship and you will need to reinforce your furniture if you get IKEA or similar tables
2. CRT induced radiation
3. Availability may be limited
All right, now some pictures: so far only one made it... will try with my peecee later
