boboneleg Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Anyone ever used a scart to HDMI converter cable ? I need one to go from our DVD player to TV. Just realised that none of these modern TV's have scart sockets anymore Something like this ............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckster Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 No, but the format is significantly different, hdmi is effectively a USB derivative while SCART is analogue. To do it any justice it will cost. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboneleg Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 That’s what I was worried about but the blurb on that item says it converts the analogue scart signal to digital at the hdmi end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckster Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 As long as you are not to bothered about sharp colours it should be okay, whites will be off white and you will only get very dark grey rather than black. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We bought a new TV shortly after so it didn't get much use must have worked or i wouldn't have kept it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted June 21 Author Share Posted June 21 Cheers Fred, the converter arrived this morning Just got to wait for the new TV to arrive now. I envisage a situation whereby I'll be sat in the chunnel while Ersilia is on the phone to me asking how she gets the TV to work 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
