| SCART to HDMI Upscaler - Worth the time to invest in? |

| ShoothimNow:
Good morning guys. I for one have been hit with the dilemma of upgrading my (smaller) TV to a 65inch TV. As games "were" view-able" on the 40inch, the quality of RCA is completely unacceptable now on the TV I wish to hookup to. I have SNES/N64 S-Video composite cables, but they don't help since I have no S-Vido inputs on the Television. I can buy an up-converter from S-Video to Component (RGB), but the more I think about that, S-Video is already "not that great". The more I read into it, and I know how a few of you have protested love for SCART cables, I am ready to make the jump. However, I need some guidance. There is no "what to buy", and I figured instead of blowing a crapload of dough on things I don't need, I'll ask around and build up from there. **Is this not worth the hassle, as I need to mod my systems for better RGB? I am ready for my birth by fire, but just need a couple pointers. Systems I would love to hookup: NES : http://tiny.cc/rpcdby SNES/N64 : http://tiny.cc/frcdby PS2 : http://tiny.cc/2rcdby Xbox : http://tiny.cc/xscdby Genesis : http://tiny.cc/27cdby so with that, I would need atleast a 5 way switcher ebay: http://tiny.cc/27cdby What do you guys own as regarding to scart, and what would be good to buy. Am I better off to buy an SCART to HDMI Upscaler, or find a way to mod the console to accept HDMI (are there tutorials out there)? Thanks in advance ;D |

I use a scart to HDMI converter. I think it works well. Scart cables are like $15 for each system and the converter is about $40. This video convinced me to go down that road: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RS55pmLIEjA |

I've heard when converting to HDMI it will add input delay |

However, I heard some TVs have this issue with HDMI and input delays regardless; so it probably depends on your TV. |

If you can afford and xrgb mini, they are totally worth it. The Genesis looks fantastic on it. RetroRGB has some good recommendations on upscalers. |
