Most will accept NTSC rate RGB > though... Yes, just make sure that 1) Your TV has an *RGB* SCART socket (as opposed to a composite one). Beware - on a lot of big tellys with 2 SCARTs, one (usually #1) is true RGB, the other (#2) is composite. 2) You are using an *RGB* SCART lead, connected to the PlayStation's multi-out. The official Sony one is a mind-boggling 30 quid, but you can get 3rd party ones for about a tenner. For some bizarre reason, only the official model worked with my (14 inch Sony TV/VCR 2-in-1) TV. :( 3) You don't play too much Final Fantasy, now :) No, I've heard FF Tactics is ace from a fellow member, and I would be keen on playing it myself... Yep, Craig - nothing beats a TRUE multi-system TV. My parents have one (brought back from HK) and it's great to be able to plug ANYTHING into it and have it run gloriously. No 'orrible boxes round the back of the telly, or switching SCART leads. Bliss. Does anyone know of anywhere you can get them in the UK? Nick F
