How to use SCART for our hobby
Zebidee:
That's all good, there's a lot of work involved in running the power in. What does the seller charge for all that?

Not sure really. Probably a little bit more than the standard cable. You will need to make contact for a price.
Zebidee:
I imagine that the extra cost would not be insignificant. I can make a basic cable in 25 minutes, but more complex cables take a lot longer.
Although I use some I have made myself, I would not *buy* a cable that simply shorts SCART 20 -> SCART 16. That works on *some* TVs only, and you have no way of knowing until you try it out. When I make cables for other people, I always include the molex for 12v & 5v input as standard. Saves on disappointments.

I hear some people say that a 75 ohm resistor would give better colours? Can anyone confirm this? Can i break my tv or graphicscard when using a 75 insead of a 100 ohm resistor? I'm using a 75 ohm cable...
Zebidee:
I've never heard anyone say that. The 100 ohm resistor that we mostly talk about in this thread is to pull 5v -> ~2v for pin 16. Your TV will either be switched to RGB mode or not.
Generally, there should be no resistance on the cable itself, but monitors are commonly '75ohm terminated' - it might even say that on the cable, if that is where you got yours from.
