So, I've been looking for a CRT to use with my Playstation and Mega Drive 2 (and probably other consoles in the future - I don't have much faith in my self-control). I have an opportunity to pick up a Sony PVM-1442QM (same as in this ebay listing http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150898536699) for an affordable price from my cousin whose itchy trigger finger has led to him purchasing it without having the space. Seeing pictures around the net of how lovely old systems can look on these old monitors, I'd like to take him up on the offer but I have close to zero knowledge of video standards and whatnot. I've done some googling and managed to confuse myself so I plead for the help of any AV and CRT experts out there -
I already have an RGB scart cable for the MD2 so that's a start (I think). How would I go about playing the consoles on the monitor and what do I need to accomplish this? I'm willing to spend reasonable amounts of money if I need some little box of tricks to make it happen but not XRGB prices. Picture from ebay listing below -
