All new tv's has no s/video

All new TV's has no s/video whats up with the TV manufacture 's? in the uk.

 

Yeah i am in Europe region too. Same here.

If you can get a scart connecter with s-video and composite input (It is about 1$ here), it will do fine. At least that's what i do.

 

I'm used to hearing of lcd without svideo. Weird part I've talked about a few times is my last gen US crt does not, despite component input.

 

All modern TVs in japan have s=video but no 21 pin RGB so think yourself very lucky.

 

My new TV does have S-Video just not RGB which Australia doesn't have RGB even in the CRTs.

 

way around it is pick up a cheap dvd-recorder or even a vcr alot have s-video

 

my HDTV has no VGA nor S-Video

 

You can get S-Video to SCART adapters, which should help for your no-S-Video woes

(although, admittedly, RGB SCART is always the better choice).

 

s-video to SCART adapters sure. what i'd need is an s-video to YPbPr encoder circuit.

 

I apologise, I was replying to the OP (who said they were in the UK):

You mean something like this?

More or less. For the various consoles out there not practical to mod above s-video.

 

What's up with your grammar?

Why would you need s-video? They still have SCART, which does RGB, which is better. Of course, SCART can accept s-video signals, too.

 

i've never actually used any s-video device. not alot of devices used s-video in the uk, maybe camcorders and the like. not sure why u'd want to use that over scart?

 

Well there's SNES, Saturn, Dreamcast, PS1/PS2, so on.

Most american devices do not have scart.

 

RGB SCART.

RGB SCART.

RGB SCART

*sigh* RGB SCART

Considering the topic was about UK televisions, your argument was weak, there. You could have mentioned N64, which by default gives its best picture via s-video.

I would imagine the situation in the US isn't quite as bad, but here there is really no need for s-video. It was never popular in the first place.

And getting an RGB monitor such as a PVM is a better option than using an LCD television for most old consoles, anyway.

Missing the point. I just said what consoles I knew offer s video.

 

Well, S-Video was never popular in Europe anyway. SCART did the job for most of the people.

 

fair point but my post was in relation to uk / europe devices, i know it was much more widely used in the usa (crazy backwards folk :stupid: )

besides all the consoles mentioned have easily available RGB scart cables saturns were shipped with them or at least some were.

although the original poster may have alot of usa consoles with s-video cables. still s-video to scart converters are cheap and cheerful

 

What most people don't understand is S-Video and Y/CR/CB are an artifact of NTSC's "Just add color" design approach. The simple fact is "NTSC RGB" does not exist, however the design of almost all non prehistoric TVs allows for an RGB signal, it converts it to RGB internally, they just don't include the circuit needed to bring it to the outside. PAL is the opposite, it lacks a "monochrome" implementation, it is RGB encoded from the start. It isn't surprising that manufacturers are dropping technically non-compliant and rarely used ports, doing so allows the same model to be sold worldwide without having to explain what an unfamiliar connector does.

 

Yup too bad trying to turn actually encode video into RGB isn't cheap. Limited usefulness as that is.
