Hi
Just bought a samsung 32" smart tv for daughters room but no scart slot. I need to connect a small dvd player which I originally connected scart to scart. Is there such a thing as a scart to HDMI as I am having trouble finding one.
Thank you in Advance

Ebay has loads of them. Make sure you get it the right way round as there a two types. You want to convert from SCART output to HDMI input.
Here is one as an example..

It isn't necessarily the cheapest or best.
If you don't like eBay heres one on Amazon...

Again just the first I came across. There will doubtless be others.
Actually looking at those prices and the fact you'll need another socket for their power supplies you may do better just getting a DVD player with HDMI out - it won't be much dearer and could well give a better picture.0 -
Or a SCART - component cable (assuming TV has component connects.)kwikbreaks wrote: »...

That's certainly the cheapest option if it does. Once again you need to take care over signal direction as there are two types or some come with a switch on the scart plug.grumpycrab wrote: »Or a SCART - component cable (assuming TV has component connects.)0 -

Or a BluRay Player at £40 for more flexibility....
