I found an old amstrad colour monitor in my attic last night. after searching the web, I found pinouts for it that show RGB compatibility, so I want to use it for my consoles.
however, i'm thinking it may be a low-res monitor, and currently the snes is the only low-res console i have (the others are xbox,ps2 and dc) so i don't want to risk mashing up the monitor.
problem is, when i use rgb on my snes, the picture starts off bright and gorgeous then fades to black over a period of about 10 seconds, the effect is like a capacitor discharging, which leads me to the actual question:
would buying an rgb scart lead and removing the capacitors fix the problem?
reason i ask is that i had a different model snes (newer i think, had fewer but larger chips) that worked fine with the same rgb cable. i since gave the cable to my cousins for their gc and it works fine.
the only rgb scart cable i have in my household at the moment is a spider rgb cable, and i don't wanna mess with that as it works fine (not with the snes though)
