Indeed it is 0.7 volts. P-P stands for "peak to peak" as opposed to say RMS.

I am one. No inverters needed, but the Amiga monitor I have appears to 
have a strong internal pull-up. It's not the voltage that is a problem, 
but rather the fact that it never gets low enough. My solution was a
51 ohm resistor to the ground. Works like a charm
