I mentioned about that monitor somewhere on EAB before: INFOTRONIC L2130S
You may like it because:
- it can display almost all amiga's resolutions (there is a problematic one:
https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=91378 ), and in the video below you can see that 1280x512(256) shouldn't be used - the text on the screen cannot be read
- it shows LACED modes without flickering
Basic amiga's resolutions on Infotronic:

now the "dark sides" of the monitor:
- because monitor is doing its own magic to hide interlace, there is a "comb" effect in games , but one can get used to it
- to have 640x256 or 320x256 shown correctly first you need to start 640x512 (
https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=89820) - so it means that bootmenu always comes in 640x200
- it is not modern thus the menu buttons sometimes work sometime don't (but they do work but not always)
- it is heavy (monitor+ stand ~ 16kg)
- it is big (21 inches)
One more good thing is you can change a lot in MonSpecsMUI and the monitr wiill still show the picture. Below is WB in 1120x750 (just a1200 and monitor - nothing else)
