wondering if possible to connect snes/megadrive/xbox original/ps1 to this monitor? am guessing it would be via the DVI input as analogue ? since all above consoles are scart i was thinking of a 4x scart splitter with a single dvi output into monitor. i have pc connected via DP. i dont want to use emulators and i want to get consoles of a CRT i have them connected to so one less screen in house. thanks.

after a long time of trial and error i eventually found a box capable of a scart input and a converted and not too badly upscaled hdmi output. wanted to share the link if allowed of one of the ones that will work and convert a very low signal like the snes and megadrive. worked out very cheap as well considering what i spent on cables and other devices testing and re testing :/

the seller doesnt say it supports 240p but it does. maybe it was just never tested and they assumed people would use for vhs players mainly.
