DJ you are also a bloody hypocrite -

I'm thinking of selling my TV to buy a new one, but I have NO idea how much it'd be worth second hand.
It's a 68cm Sony Trinitron, the old black case version, not the silver case. It's got a flat screen, but it only has AV inputs, no s-video or anything. It has awesome picture quality, and is in realy good condition.

Awesome picture quality with av inputs? Quick, you better sell it fast, you don't wanna keep that awesome picture quality through composite for too long now...

Thanks for the input guys!!

Anyway, I've got the same TV, and although it's a better picture tube and screen than my 80cm Panasonic, my Panasonic smokes it for video games when you run it with S-Video. Like, duh.

Sonic jam, I don't disagree with you, I'm just stating that depending on your application you won't always see hyper-improvements moving up formats of video transmission. Also don't brag. If you want satisfaction, then be content with knowing that you have a good TV.

That was hardly bragging, it was in response to you implying that I had a shitty TV (Which isnt nice when you just payed near 2 and a half grand for one)

Firstly, SCART isn't a video signal. It's simply a connector through which you can channel component, svideo or composite.


And so he replies...

From www.dvdshop.com.au sale section:

Neotech 3m SCART to Component video + Audio (L + R)

Depending on the set, SCART connections can carry anything from RGB and component, through to s-video and composite.

I love it when you go nuts trying to be all clever when you're actually completely wrong.

Actually, it looks awesome when watching television, and it looks awesome with the DC, but the dot crawl and color bleed from my DVD player drives me insane..!!

Having plugged the same DVD player into cheaper TV's with s-video makes me realise how crap a composite connector is. Straight away those inherent composite problems disappeared.

See, I'm speaking from hands-on experience, but I don't think anyone wants to experience what you've got your hands on at the moment, Zarevz.

Bwahahahahahah.


Look DJ, just admit you're wrong.

I have more information then you'll ever have, and more experience - no hand needed for that.

If you don't believe me I'll give you a rundown of the scart connector pin by pin. Let's start-
Pin Number -

  1. Right Audio Out
  2. Right Audio In
  3. Left Audio Out
  4. Audio Ground
  5. Blue Ground <----- Blue Return
  6. Left Audio In
  7. Blue <-- Look DJ! It's Blue!
  8. Status - CVBS
  9. Green Ground <---- Green Return
  10. Data D2B (Inverted)
  11. Green <-- Look DJ! Gamenation's favourite colour!
  12. Data D2B
  13. Red Ground <------ Red return
  14. D2B Ground
  15. Red <---- Look DJ! It's the colour of your face!
  16. RGB Status/Fast Blanking
  17. CVBS Video Ground
  18. RGB Status Ground
  19. Composite Video Output <--- DJ's TV uses this
  20. Composite Video Input <---- DJ says it's great quality!
  21. Case/Shield

I laugh at you DJ, you forum mod you.

Can you actualy explain what each of those things mean though?

And no matter what set your useing, there will ALLWAYS be a VAST difference between composite and component, bandwidth is very important.

BZZ!!! Wrong!!!... "Probably"? Not a chance in hell my friend. IMO ANY decent size 68cm+ TEAC with SCART(rgb) will outperform visually any brand TV with composite. In fact I'll go as far and say it beats any TV with S-VIDEO.

TEACs are so underrated, people keep knocking the brand, especially "gamers", it's a shame. You can get a decent size screen plus the best picture quality through SCART(rgb) for under $700. Great value for a "gaming" television imo.
