RGB SCART and Xbox360

    Hi all,

    I'll soon be getting an Xbox 360 premium and have been told I should get an RGB SCART cable because that has the best video quality.

    What I want to know is, how can I ascertain if a television is able to take RGB? I don't want to have to use a composite. (And I barely know what I'm talking about here so I'll need you to use simple, clear descriptions ;))

    Edit: some clarification, the TV I have in mind is about 6 years old (got it early 2002 I think) and is a Phillips.

    I'd say you'll would be fine with that TV. I'm was in the same situation. I have a 32" Philips CRT which is maybe 5 years old and I had to buy an RGB scart for it so I could play some of the Xbox 360 games on it. It now works a charm.

    If your looking to buy a cable I saw them in gamespot in stephens green for 15 euro this week.

    If the person who told you this knew what kinda tv you have, then hes right.. Scart is the way to go.. If he doesnt know what kinda tv you have then hes living back..... a few years ago :rolleyes:

    Scart for older tvs

    Hdmi/component for newer tvs

    Hdmi/component being the best

    It's definitely a SCART TV, my question is specifically if you can tell whether a TV is RGB (red-green-blue) compatible.

    Not by looking at it you cant , but if you still have the manual it will tell you in that.

    If it has more than one scart socket then the first one is usually the RGB one , on good sets , they all are , but there is no way to know without actually looking in the manual.

    I'll look for the manual. The TV only has one SCART socket.
