Dot crawl on RGB?

[sonix]

Hooking up both PS2 and Saturn to my tv forced me to choose which system has to use s-video and which scart connection, since I only have one s-video input. Eventually I used s-video with PS2 since the only other cable I've got is composite, it makes a bigger difference, and for the Sautrn I also have the RGB, or so I thought.

I'm sure it's connected to the right, RGB compatible socket, but the picture quality is still composite-ish. In Shining the Holy Ark all text is "fuzzy" (and if you choose the "transparent" boxes then... oh dear). I'm wondering if this RGB scart I've got is actually a composite in disguise.

Here's a video, it should be visible (if not, choose 720p and enlarge the screen): www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHk2WE2B2uE

Looks too good to be composite, what kind of TV are you using?

I'm using Samsung LE32A450 LCD TV. I guess the quaility of the picture is not that bad, but the dot-crawl still bugs me, s-video was crystal clear (though maybe it's something different, I could also describe this artifact as "pixels flashing in areas of contrasting colours).

It's probably the usual HDTV gashing up 240p signal syndrome I'm afraid. You could try finding/making a composite sync SCART cable if you have a NTSC machine or try a Model 1 Saturn instead if you can't afford a video processor.

If he gets crystal clear signal in s-video, then it's just another case of badly shielded scart cables causing interference.

This is the same problem as I've got, did you get your cable off of eBay recently?

No, I've got it 2 years ago from elsewhere but I wouldn't be surprised if it was identical to those on eBay.
