From my experience the problem is not PAL/NTSC or 50/60 Hz (this is
normally well in the bandwidth of a monitor), but power supply.
You must be sure to get a model that is 220 V capable. You see,
in the very first Amiga days, we all had those 1070 (or was it
already 1081?) monitors with a 220V to 110V transformer under the desk...
