I think getting a Saturn SCART cable and a SCART to HDMI converter is your best bet.

So do they no longer make TVs with S-video support? Pretty lame if that's the case.


A lot of TVs I've seen have dropped everything but HDMI even. Which is fine if you go through an AV processor like me, but terrible if you don't have the cash to fork over for one.


What kinda AV processor do you have?

You're running it to the CRT still?

It's currently hooked up to the plasma to run our sound system. When I move out I will probably be run to the CRT, but, we'll see.

alrighty so do I get an scart to vga converter box or do I get a scart to hdmi?

I would assume that the scart to vga would work better considering there both analog signals while the analog to digital might be risky. I only have enough to get one or the other so don't wanna get a box in the mail and no dice :shock:

I assume HDMI would be best, since it should give you audio with that.
