You've made my point. You have very strong opinions loudly expressed about things you know absolutely nothing about. Sadly, marketing is something that all non-marketing people are experts in.
Feel free to believe what you like - but I don't see what marketing people have to do with it?, manufacturing would be more correct as far as manufacturing costs go. The only reason marketing might be relevant is that marketing probably decided SCART wasn't needed any more.

But the fact remains - SCART has been almost completely removed from all new TV's - if you don't care to believe my reasoning's for it, you are free to believe the fairies made them do it, or whatever you like

Oh dear .... you know nothing about how products are designed and featured. You obviously think it's the guys on the production line that look at the back and say "let's stick a couple of HDMI sockets on it".

For what it's worth ..... I'll give you a clue.

The marketing department conducts various types of research that produces a plan that estimates what the sales will be with various features at various retail price points. They will obviously also look at other competing products on the market.

They often get it wrong ...... but it is a function of marketing that concludes what features will be on the product.

Out of interest ... how did you think this was done?

May a reopen this one?


We have a DVD player/recorder with only a SCART output. Our old Samsung TV came with an adapter to join a SCART lead to a EXT RGB socket which worked fine but now I'd like to connect this old DVD machine to a new TV which lacks the same input.

I appreciate that a simple SCART-HDMI lead isn't possible but the new TV comes with a 3.5 mm jack for "AV" input and also packaged was a fly-lead to 3 RCA female plugs in white, red and yellow.
Can I connect a SCART lead to this and expect it to work?
Quality is not critical provided I get sound and picture.

Otherwise would I need to buy a powered upscaler / converter?

Thanks

It's generally not considered good form on DS to dredge long dead threads up from the grave rather than start your own new thread.

But anyway. You can get SCART leads with a SCART plug one end and stereo audio (red and white) and video (yellow) phono plugs on the other end. Random example

https://www.amazon.co.uk/1-5m-Scart-...dp/B012O77LEO/

That would connect your player to the adapter for the TV and should work OK.
