Possibly they meant the separately purchased monitor was compatible with base unit.

Likely this. Some monitors that would work on the Ami wouldn't work in all it's modes. This did. I had the 1084S which added stereo speakers I think.

This is correct. Those separate square bullet points are just for the monitor.

Isn't very clear though. So it does read like the Amiga 500 is fully compatible with the Amiga 500....
