Upgrading standard a1200 to run OS3.9?

That is correct, that Workbench will work with any resolution provided that the monitor and card support it.

I have been using the two screen sizes you mentioned with a Voodoo 5500.

Cool. What do you do to play games, switch to an Amiga monitor connected to the motherboard?

I'm thinking maybe I should just try to find a scandoubler. Seems they would be around ~$200. But even then, I guess, I wouldn't be able to find an LCD monitor that could do the low resolutions the games run at? (I don't have any more 1081s that work, and I'm not buying anymore just for them to die on my after a month!, plus I need deskspace)

An alternative might be to find an LCD monitor that has a built in TV tuner. That way it would probably come with composite, S-Video or scart socket that you can connect up for the lower resolution TV modes, and use it's native VGA monitor connection for the graphics card. That way you would only have one monitor and just be able to switch between the two input connections.
