An elderly relative's television packed in recently so I've been organising a replacement remotely. I plumped for a Toshiba model, the 32LL3A63DB 32-Inch - see https://toshiba-tv.com/uk-uk/support/product/32LL3A63DB
This is a question about connecting the existing DVD player to the new TV when it arrives.
The new TV does not have a SCART socket, but does have Component (YPbPr) in via VGA (D-Sub), red/white RCAs, Composite, and 2 x HDMI.
The DVD player is an old Bush STB 2028, with SCART, composite & S-Video, and for audio it has the red/white RCAs, coaxial & optical sockets.
It seems to me there are four options:
Thanks for any advice.

It seems to me there are four options:
- A SCART to HDMI converter. Downside: requires an extra plug socket, consumes an HDMI socket, and may not be worth it when a new player would be relatively inexpensive.
- Use Composite Video along with the red/white RCAs for audio (i.e. with a "Break out cable"). This is suggested in Toshiba's FAQs. Downside: Composite is the worst quality, though I appreciate that DVDs on a full HD TV like this are never going to look fantastic.
- Use the "Component (YPbPr) in via VGA" for video, and the red/white RCAs for audio. Perhaps something like this: https://cpc.farnell.com/pro-signal/psg00969/21-pin-scart-to-15-pin-hd-plug/dp/AV14656
- Buy a new player with HDMI output.
Thanks for any advice.
