Pink and Purple TV...

OK, so maybe not exactly a computer thing, but my hitherto reliable 24" Panasonic TV has suddenly decided that it doesn't do green. So everything is in a less-than-pleasing pink and purple....

So after nearly 15 years it's going to have to be replaced with something rather newer. Not a bad innings, really. It cost the equivalent of £730 in today's money, yet the replacement 32" TV I'm considering costs less than half that.

The trouble is, all my peripheral devices (DVR / Sat / VCR) use SCART rather than HDMI, which is clearly the new way. As is optical connection to AV amplifiers, rather than RCA phono which my amplifier uses.

I've seen SCART-to-HDMI converters available at the usual website, but has anyone got any experience of these? They seem to have generally favourable reviews, as do optical-to-phono audio adapters - and would be a heck of a lot cheaper than replacing the peripherals.

Any advice greatly appreciated!
