Best way to hook up an 800XL to a modern TV?

I'd rather not do any soldering for the S-video mod so what is my next best choice? What cable would I need too?

 

Thanks,

There are two main ways. You should be able to get an Atari monitor-to-Svideo cable from eBay or someone on here. Otherwise most TFT monitors (in the UK at least) still come with an RF connection. RF on TFT doesn't always give a good picture, though.

I am not a "mod-guy" too but this mod is really simple (only one solder) and you'll get a quality way better than standard videocomposite:

OK, so it sounds like I need a "monitor-to-S-video cable"... can anyone direct me to a "good" one?

 

Thanks,

I bought my s-video cables from this ebay seller:

eBay Store: NKCElectronics

In this moment it seems that he doesn't have them.

Try to ask.
