Anything new only outputs a digital signal, S-Video is analogue.
So that would mean an adapter thats over $40,- cus it needs to be an active one.
Just sayin.

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!
I'm just helping YOU to help YOURSELF!
(The more info you give the easier it is for others to help you out!)

Not willing to capitulate to the ignorance of the masses!

Oh for sure, you said that already.

But why buy when there's cheaper options?

What games are you wanting to run? Especially with the shipping we get for trying to get parts up here if you aren't going local, this seems like a good spot for a pi4.

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

The 285 is weaker than the iGPU.
