I'm waiting for the HDTV with the two-prong VHF connectors (I think that is what they are called. It's before my time mostly)....

SOme of you may know of my love of Adam Koralik videos. He just recently reviewed a new item that does scart to hdmi. I just put in my order for the product. He provides some good video information and comparisons. But most of all he provides some solid hints as to why the old systems aren't working and this being a very probable fix. The only downside I see is that I don't know of an SLG scanline generator for hdmi. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00988GMLG/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

But he does back up my claim that video can look just fine on modern tvs. As he says, the only reason people use big TVs is because on those you don't notice how bad composite is. Composite is still just as bad. But those TVs are bad and hide the fact that it is the connection.  :)

OK, so I just got everything in for the SCART to HDMI. Holy SHIT! The upgrade in quality is insane. The benefits of RGM SCART far outweighs any benefits of a CRT for composite.

I tested it out with Phantasy Star for the Master System. I always played this on the Ultimate Genesis collection on 360, because it looked so much better. I remember being shocked at how bad it looked on the Master System after playing the 360. But Damn, does the SMS look good on SCART to HDMI. It rivals the emulation through 360. I can't recommend that converter enough. I honestly, never thought the Master System could look so good.

I wouldn't be able to do better than what Adam did in the video a few posts up. Look at the Sonic 2 comparison. Make sure you turn the video to HD in the options at the bottom though. And the difference is way  more apparent in person.
