RGB SCart into a Dell 2405

[Winston]

Is this possible?

I've tried everything but still no picture

I have one of these

That plugs into my sky box, then i have a rgb cable running into the component connector in the back of my 2405, nothing?

Any ideas please as i'm running around in circles here

Err, that device converts composite video enabled SCART into component video. It doesn't convert the RGB signal. Says so right in the advertising you've copied and pasted.

A composite video feed is not going to look very good at all. You will either get dot-crawl or just plain old fuzzy red edges. We won't even mention the colour blue

What you really, really do need is a HD-Ready Sky box which already has component video outputs. Beg, borrow and sell your favoured relatives in order to get one.

Yeah using composite now and it looks naff

How about those rgb xcart to component converter? Cost about £70

Any good or not worth it?

Not sure if this will work, so look for someone to to agree, but what about a scart to svideo converter? Worst comes to the worst you could possibly use video on a graphics card or something.
