Hi Folks,
Updates as promised. While I'm waiting for my centuriontech.eu via adapter to arrive, I thought I'd try a different approach with a popular adapter I've seen doing the rounds on youtube.

It's "branded" Flylink and is just called HD video converter. Takes RGB or composite (or hdmi) as an input and hdmi/co-axial and separate audio outputs. The results are IMPRESSIVE!
*** update: there is a slight bit of lag on the connection ***

Obviously my monitor didn't have hdmi inputs so I bought these digital dvi converters.
Some audio interference lines but I think that might just be my messy setup and a really long budget cdmi lead that I'm using.
The device itself with a Retro Computer Shack RGB Smart lead. I only use these guys for cables.
This picture really doesn't do the output justice. Those diagonal lines aren't visible to the eye.
Honestly guys. I will send updates when the centurion tech ube adapter turns up because obviously it's switchable to hi-res and I want to compare results. But this setup now, I'm very pleased with! I might buy a couple more to be honest! It's a great solution for connecting anything composite/RGB to a modern display!
Tell me your thoughts.
