Contecting Sega To LCD

Hiya
I have a Sega MegaDrive 1 with the Megas CD.
With my old CRT TV I had made a cable to connect from the Sega Din out socket to the TV BNC in socket.
I now have a LCD TV with every connection under the sun but BNC.
I connected the Sega via the Coaxil but the picture quality is pants - real poor.
Is there a cable available or does anyone know how to make a cable to connect from the Din Socket to a scart or what options are available ?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Not sure myself but did a bit of digging (was curious anyway).

Sega Megadrive 1 RGB SCART cable TV lead 2 METRES on eBay (end time 08-Dec-09 13:37:17 GMT)

Also believe you can DIY it:

mmmonkey Master System 1 and Megadrive 1 Scart Lead

Hope that helps a bit.

Hiya
Thanks for the info - much appreciated.
They are still selling these on ebay (your first link) which I think I'll buy one.
The option of making one with all those resisters looked a bit daunting !!
Thankyou for looking in to this for me.

I bought one of those cables from ebay, it works great!

But be aware if you want stereo sound you will have to get a cable with an extra jack to plug into your Megadrive's headphone socket.

Megadrive Genesis 1 STEREO RGB SCART cable TV lead NEW! on eBay (end time 21-Nov-09 03:07:36 GMT)

Not quite as neat but it works well. Is worth it for the stereo sound IMO.
