Is that really the true cost of it though (apart from potentially getting stung with customs)? Do you have to get new cables for your consoles (I see no scart or vga input)? Does that hdmi out carry audio too or just video? Do you need any other devices in the chain from console to tv? Is it just one console that can be connected at any one time?

Sounds a bit mad to spend 100s because you don't have space for a CRT, no bigger than your average microwave I would've thought. Unlike a 50" LCD or whatever. :pac:

Well you have to add on the price of shipping, a UK PSU, a Euro Scart adapter etc. So yes there are additional costs. But it's still a lovely yolk and I want one

But it's no replacement for a CRT, it just isn't no matter how well it emulates one. There's plenty of cheap great CRT's knocking about (trinitrons, PVM's etc) for free or close to it. And you can fit a CRT in somewhere.

And if the missus won't let you have one(a CRT), get a new missus. There's also plenty of them knocking about

You dont need a UK PSU or a stepdown, just a travel adaptor. I chose to buy the PSU just because. Was only a couple of quid. Less than a fiver I think.

Had a nightmare with customs, but they let it through with no fuss. I think I got free shipping too, I forget now.

Looks blurry, you might need to play with the focus on that
