Up to the 3000, IIRC, Amigas were tied to TV frequencies, so you wouldn’t get more than 200x640. You could do interlacing and get 400 lines, but you’d want to claw your ever out in 10 minutes.

I had an Amiga 1200 and got it working with a VGA monitor soldered onto the connector (like a VGA adapter on Ebay now) and a setup VGA file in Workbench 3. It looked great in 640x480, no chunkiness. So it is possible.

The 1200 launched after the 3000. I think it was the last model to be launched.
