Atari 800 to modern TV

[AtariNostalgia]

HI all.

What is the best and economical way to hook up my 800 to a modern samsung 24inch TV/Monitor?

It has composite in, not sure if that works with a cable? What about HDMI?

 

To further complicate matters, my 800 is NTSC bought from the US. AFter moving to Europe where things are mostly PAL, I bought a TV/monitor that has NTSC playback, so hopefully that takes care of that.

I don't know where to start.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks!

I use the S-Video input on my TV. It's a sharper picture than composite, but some of the newer TV's don't have it.

 

There is a thread discussing HDMI converters here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/236810-inexpensive-s-video-or-composite-to-hdmi-video-up-converter/?do=findComment&comment=3209394

I used one of these S-Video to HDMI convertors:

And also use a SCART to HDMI convertor:

With a SCART adapter:

(The latter is cheaper now, plus it will accept by Atari ST video signal too)
