The only thing that makes sence to me regarding SCART TVs.

Fair enough. But for some people being able to play their favorite arcade games on a CRT screen at native resolution and refresh rate for minimal or zero cost is pretty appealing. Sure, having an REAL arcade monitor is usually preferable but finding and affording one of them is a lot trickier for some.

SCART TVs may have their idiosyncrasies but, aside from higher res games, if you find the right model then the image quality and compatibility can be excellent.

Besides, there's no way I would have built the confidence to mess around with a real arcade chassis without first experimenting with SCART TVs for a while. Now I know the things I'm looking for and the basic theoretical and practical concepts involved.
