Cables for a composite PAL monitor?
As someone who doesn't care enough about TVs to do anything but accept hand-me-downs and other bits of charity, I've just received an old plasma from work. But the catch is that it's a decade old and is better described as a monitor than a TV, built for the international market. So, in addition to VGA and DVI, it has composite and component inputs and can accept a PAL or NTSC signal but has no tuner and no SCART socket. It has an S-Video socket, a bunch of phonos and those other things that I don't know the name of, but look like a bit like phonos except that they stick out further and seem to have a smaller hole. They're for component input; it's a normal yellow phono for composite. Lacking another connector, I assume it's sync-on-green. Obviously the SAM can output RGB and composite from its not-quite-SCART socket, but what can I do to connect it to my TV? Quazar doesn't seem to have anything relevant in stock and I'm a soldering dunce.

But I do make up customised cables on request :) I can build a cable to connect from the SAM SCART socket to a phono plug for your TV's Composite Video input. Also, I assume there is red and white phono sockets for audio input too?

Re: Cables for a composite PAL monitor?
Yes - lots of those, including two next to the composite video. The screen is comically oversized if anything, and they seem to have taken the opportunity to really cover the thing with inputs... Probably best to get in touch privately and sort this out. I'm finally about to scramble desperately onto the housing ladder, so depending on timings I may even have a new address to report.
