Sega Master System, Sega Genesis, Sega Saturn, PlayStation, and SNES all natively support RGB, even in North America. The N64 does not natively support it, however, so it has to be modded in order to work. Its best native signal is S-Video.

I understand the consoles support it but just wondered if the cables were available as scart is a european standard of connection. I guess he can order from Europe or maybe aliexpress etc but in the past it used to be the higher quality standard for the US was s-video and then they moved to component.

Wow there is an RGB mod for the original NES.

However as previously stated I think a CRT is the best option both for value and for results. Many retro games rely on zero input lag as delivered by 50/60hz CRT sets. They may not look quite as nice but the handle much better with silky smooth response.

There are NTSC SCART cables that you have to buy, as PAL SCART cable don't work on NTSC consoles. However, the main problem is that the vast majority of NTSC TVs don't have SCART inputs, so there needs to be something that converts it to HDMI.
