I found that the best way to make one was to buy an over-the-counter RGB scart lead and adapt it using the details found here -

http://pinouts.ru/VideoCables/AmigaScart_pinout.shtml

The only problem you may encounter is sourcing the 23-pin connector and hood, although a 25-pin connector can be hacked to suit.

The image quality using RGB to an LCD or plasma is very good.

This cable from Amigakit should work for you:

Is it just me that feels Amiga scart cables are too expensive?

I think there are people on eBay selling them close to £20 IIRC, thats far too expensive. I remember when the old catalogue Index here in the UK sold them for £5.99, which I had bought a load now! LOL

I've bought one from this seller and it works fine. He doesn't have any for sale at the moment but if you send a message they'll let you know when they'll have some more:

Good timing with this question, I just got my A1200 home from a long stay in my parents' loft and I was just wondering how to hook it up to my TV :)

£5.99 was cheap, even for 1989. Take into account inflation since then and that raises todays price to about "£11".

Mine cost around a fiver to make a couple of years ago!

1.5m RGB scart from Aldi @ £2 (surprisingly good quality)
Jack plugs and a little bit of shielded 2 core cable @ £1
23-pin connector & hood @ £2
Resistors @ 4p

I wouldn't mind knowing where I can get a couple of 23 way D connectors and hoods... they are as rare as rocking horse poop nowadays :(
