Kind of interesting. Probably rehashed information for this lot but still neat. ---

This was mostly new to me when I saw it earlier this week on the discord. It’s a great video. ---

I need to go back on the discord then. It was hard to follow and get work done. ---

I just picked up a RGB-modded 27" Trinitron today! Great timing. ---

Where are you at? I’ve only heard of people in New York doing that mod. ---

@Kawika I’m in Ontario, Canada. (Toronto, but the modder was located closer to London.) I traded him an SNES Classic Mini for it! He had two, and does this as his hobby/side hustle. Early impressions are very impressive for far! I’ll post some pics tomorrow. ---

Great video. @KC-Slater I guess here in the UK we were lucky to have RGB SCART on our TVs, Trinitron or otherwise. ---

Didn’t realize New Yorkers were doing that mod. Good to know. ---

Some quick photos (please excuse my iPhone camera.) All from my Saturn to my SCART switch, then to my TV. It looks superb in person – especially at that size. I need a better SCART cable to connect my Switch to my TV before I can properly use my Supergun and arcade boards with it. (I am just using a cheap one I grabbed off of Amazon for now.) I am very happy with it for the price! @Socksfelloff it’s a KV-27FS100. I need to adjust the brightness/contrast a bit, but the geometry is REALLY good!

Bob from RetroRGB had [iFixRetro](https://twitter.com/ifixretro) in Brooklyn mod his TV for a SCART connection. Unfortunately the focus is really bad in the video. ---

Holy shit you did it! Saying an fs12 looks anything close to a “$1000 BVM” is absolute horse shit! > [@KC-Slater](#): > > @Socksfelloff it’s a KV-27FS100. I need to adjust the brightness/contrast a bit, but the geometry is REALLY good! Cool! Hope it serves you well! Pictures look great!
