A hardware merchant I know sent me a reply for you..... here it is -

Just recently I hooked up the NEC 3D to the video port and also to
the Flicker Fixer. The cable is fairly simple to make, at the moment 
I only have the PinOuts for the NEC 3D with me but I'm sure you can
match these up with the PinOuts for the Video port which are supplied
in the Manual with the computer.

For the adaptor cable you will need a High Density 15 pin male and
23 pin male connectors.

NEC 3D - pin 1 - red video
             2 - green video
             3 - blue video
             4 - ground
             5 - ground
             6 - red ground
             7 - green ground
             8 - blue ground
             9 - not connected
             10 - ground
             11 - ground
             12 - not connected
             13 - h sync
             14 - v sync
             15 - not connected

Effectively there are only 6 wires needed to make the connection because
the ground from the monitor can all be soldered together, the respective
pins for the amiga are straight out of the manual. This is much cheaper
than purchasing the cable from a dealer. 

As for comments on the monitor, it's perfect! much better than the 1950.
