A question for PAL users.

Post#1 » Sat Dec 31, 2016 2:21 pm

Hi,
I posted this the other day and it was recommended I asked pal users.

I've recently bought a 55 inch 4K Samsung TV.
It doesn't have a scart or VGA port, so neither the scart cable or VGA box can be plugged into it.

I was wondering the best way to go about connecting it?
Obviously some sort of conversion to HDMI is required, but the amount of different boxes and cables is quite bewildering.

I was wondering what people are using here in the U.K.?
I've seen a few but not a great deal compared to the US market.

Thanks a lot!

There are quite a few PAL users here :) I'm not one of them tho lol

If you're looking for a good HDMI solution, the people who made the amazing Toro Box (Scart/VGA Box for Dreamcast) just now made a HDMI box for dreamcast (Called the AKURA Dreamcast HDMI Box), to be released In a week or so. It looks amazing and I'd highly recommend anything from these guys. I have a toro box from them and the picture is outstanding.

www.beharbros.com/ <----Where you can obtain a AKURA Dreamcast HDMI Box (Should be available in a week or so)

The product Xiden recommended is most likely your best bet with dc over hdmi. I use a cheap vga to hdmi converter for when I am streaming but the output to the tv is sometimes weirdly placed. Here is the adaptor I use https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00 ... UTF8&psc=1.

Are you going to try and join the uk game night when we play? The more the better, I'm based out of Sheffield btw.
