SONY KE-42XS910 - NTSC to PAL ?

I would have thought a PAL:DVI or PAL:RGB interface would do the trick. Which of these inputs do you have? What frequencies does it support on the RGB?

We do sell this sort of kit, but we are more of a profesional than consumer dealer, so if you want the best pric you would be better off surfing the web. But if you want a professional product, please replay and I'll see what we can offer.

There are consumer models of the a similar device. AverMedia makes one that sells for 900 NIS here (about 100 UKP). It has composite and s-video inputs and a tuner. The output is RGB as in a VGA computer monitor.

......but for £100 it will look rubbish. You get what you pay for.

It won't look any worse than a regular TV signal will. Oh wait, you DID say it will look rubbish. :-)

No matter how you do it, a 525 line picture is not going to look good on a large screen TV. PAL TV signals are 625 line, something has to be done to either squish the picture or chop off a 1/12th of it at the top and bottom.

Digital signal processing such as line doublers, etc, are just going to make things worse.

If the TV does have a computer connection or DVI input, you can buy a cheap PC with a DVD drive and enjoy the view.

If you get a good enough TV card and fast enough processor, you can get decent pictures out of it from off the air signals. Nothing like U.S. HDTV and it isn't going to cost 100 UKP.

I look at it as the choice is to try to sell the TV to someone who doesn't know the difference (which may be imoral IMHO) or spend 100 UKP to use it. He's already bought the thing, moved it to the U.K., paid any taxes due on it etc. Another 100 UKP for to make it useable is better than putting out on the street.......

Thanks for the replies...

How about a iScan Ultra HD box to convert muiltiple PAL inputs through the TV's DVI input?

Thanks

Yes, anything of that ilk should be OK
