    Hi All

    Looking for some advice, I recently took my N64 and Megadrive from the attic and want to connect these to a modern TV. I've looked online and there are loads of options, just looking to see what people here have done, as I don't want to waste money on something that either doesn't work or doesn't work well? Thank you

    Really depends how much you want to invest in it. IMO anyone that wants to keep older scart based hardware going on modern displays should invest a few quid and get a Retrotink device. They're not cheap but it's a one off investment and you can use it for all old pre HDMI stuff.

    I have the Retrotink 5X myself, can get it here:

    That was the Rolls Royce solution until they released the Retrotink 4k. It's twice the price and a bit of overkill IMO as the 5X looks absolutely amazing already.

    Ill go to bat for the retrotink as well. It has some really great CRT filters so you aren't left with big dirty pixels.
