will this work on DC?
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5804881290&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd =1 i have a flat screen 100hz sony tv with component input, and I have a vga box. i'm wondering whether i should buy it.... if it did i assume it would have a kick ass picture! |

I think it would be better to just keep it VGA but I'm not sure. | |||
|
||||
| It should work with DC just fine, DC is a HDTV capable system, so there should be no problems hooking that from your VGA box to your $ony tv. | ||||
|
||||

1 bummer though.  If your using a 100hz TV you won't be able to use the lightgun. It's because the TV is refresshing faster than the DC(60hz). But I reckon you'd get better with the VGA box.  |

Buy one off of lik-sang or play asia, they aren't too expensive and they'll work if you buy it from one of those guys. |

unfortunately it didn't work... it's a shame.
on that subject, is there something better than an s-cable for picture quality in a tv that doesn't support 480i like my tv? |
||||
|
||||
| I assume you mean for a tv that only supports 480i, as both composite and s-video cables are standard resolution (480i/60 and 576i/50) only. There are RGB Scart cables. It should be pretty much the same quality as VGA except interlaced. Note: a minority of games won't function using an RGB cable. Skies of Arcadia comes to mind. I have my DC connected with RGB Scart and it looks stunning. | ||||

SCARTS aren't available/functional in the US correct? | |||

SCART is for PAL Regions. Lots of Europeans keep recommending over and over for everyone to get SCART, however this standard is not a North American video standard.
We have: RF-Switch Composite S-Video Component |

| RCA composite and S-video plugs exist over here too, for example as tv-out on computers. Most TVs are equipped with SCART (and RF lead) only though. A SCART cable is capable of holding several kinds of signals, either a composite signal, an s-video signal, a combined Composite and RGB signal, and in rare cases (such as the dreamcast RGB cable) a RGB and sync signal. | ||||
