What hdtv do you have?

If the TV has VGA input it already has a RGB input and they are the same level as scart so you could look for a RGB scart to VGA adapter. That just processes the sync and doubles the scan lines and deinterlaces I think so you won't lose any quality but it would mean you'd also need a VGA switchbox and a scart switchbox I guess inline.

Are you in Europe or the USA? 

Im in USA, I have a Vizio 1080p TV that I bought last year, Im not sure if it has VGA though, I'll check when I get home, but if it does, your solution is WAY better than using a SCART to VGA converter. Thanks for the tip!

Just note that old consoles input in 240p, and most modern HDTVs output at the lowest in 480i, so if you just use that as a passthrough without something like the Framemeister to convert it properly, it's still going to have problems.
