I'm not the internet Police and I know it's a little quite but this might be better off posted under Software & Hardware.

In most cases if your using the native screen modes you will need a Scan Doubler.
As an example: http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=414

If you have an older Multi-sync monitor there is an 800x600 screen mode which is laced so will not work on a normal PC monitor which can be found off aminet. Yes you can run an A1200 AGA in 800x600 as a driver does exist.

Of course if you have a GFX card such as a Picasso II then a Multi-sync monitor is a must as you can display both AGA & VGA.

A Picasso IV is VGA only, but some people if the 1200 was in a tower would connect the actual video out of the 1200 to another screen for that.

It can be done, but a Scan Doubler is your best bet.
