    There was a time I seemed to own at least 400 of these, but I never seem to have as many HDMI leads as I need.

    Who remembers that you needed the correct type of scart lead to do VHS to VHS copies of the film from the video shop. Used to copy mine from Londis.

    It was a full pin to pin scart cable you needed.

    After the disc lock from a previous deal, a scart lead from here, who needs a delorean ? We have a recession, high food prices, high utilities, all I'm looking for now is the global hyper colour t shirts and I'm back!

    Does anybody even own anything that requires scart these days?

    Lol, now you've done it

    Short answer YES!!! Especially for retro gaming using original hardware.

    Nowadays it might be more for the niche enthusiasts, though. (RGB) SCART is one of the best cables for standard definition analogue video output when done right. Especially as many older consoles, VCRs, DVD players and even TVs (including flatscreen HD TVs) were supporting this standard consistently until about 10-15 years ago. Also many devices (especially game consoles) back in the day may have only shipped with inferior spec cables like RF coax, or Yellow/Red/White composite cables. So many users may have stuck with those and missed out on RGB altogether. It essentially helps get the best possible picture out of your legacy hardware if that's what you're into. It'll look best if running through a TV with RGB SCART ports (especially a CRT) or through competent scaler device.

    If you have a retro gaming setup that uses original hardware, these cables come in pretty handy (especially if its a shielded fully fledged RGB cable with all 21 pins intact). They're essential for certain higher quality SCART multi-switchers from Bandridge, Joytech or even more modern ones from RetroGamingCables as these only have female output ports. They require a male to male lead like this for connecting to a compatible TV or Scaling device (like a RetroTink, GBS-C, OSSC, etc).

    I'm sure the analogue video/VCR and DVD enthusiasts will probably have their own piece to say but I lack knowledge on this. And the retro PC crowd are probably on another plane entirely with different cables, resolutions, monitors and other specifications.
