How to use SCART for our hobby
lettuce:
Anyone have an info on the, hantarex CT EQ/3 28" monitor, have the oppotunity to grab a hardly used one. Just wanted to know what refresh rates, resolution these support. Plus if the image can be altered via pots at all?

@lettuce: Post your question in the main monitor forum. More eyes will see it there. I'm sure the image can be altered by pots. Most arcade chassis have these as opposed to a menu system navigated using an OSD.

Hello all, First time posting, long time lurking!
This thread has some really great Info, Ive learned a great deal. Thanks!
Im getting the bits together to make a vga/scart following the schematic attached.
Could anyone tell me the 'values' of the resistors used?
I get that 2 x 1k = 2 x 1000 ohm, and the 100 - is a 1 x 100 ohm but what are their wattages?
Would 0.6 Watt resistors be suitable?
Also, just to clarify, VGA pins 5 & 10 are unused so are grounded at SCART pins 17 & 18.
So,
VGA SCART
5 <----> 18
10 <----> 17
and then bridge SCART pins 17 & 18?
Thanks,
Lewer.

Yes, they're fine. I use'em too.

VGA pin 5 doesn't need to be connected at all. SCART pin 17 can be left also unconnected. You just connect VGA10 and SCART18 together and that's it.
Sorry for late reply I didn't get any email notifications about new messages.
I recommend you my site where you can read useful articles about this stuff:

If someone needs a VGA to SCART lead or has problems with the graphics cards settings just write me a personal message or connect me through my site.
