This seems to be a subject that has been researched extensively in the past, but I can't seem to find any remotely recent about it.
I picked up a PVM-1350 on eBay for cheap, but as it's a lower end, older model its RGB input does not accept YUV. It does support SOG. I have a SCART to BNC breakout cable coming, and that should work just fine for my RGB modded N64, my Sega Genesis, and my PS2, but given that right now my Wii is my emulation station for everything else I'd like to find a component video transcoder for this.
To put it simply, is there a component video transcoder that I can get for relatively cheap? Or am I better off just building my own with one of the many schematics I've seen online?
And all that said, would I be better off just getting a different monitor? This one has some geometry issues I couldn't fix in the service menu, but it doesn't look easy to get another of a remotely reasonable size for less than $100 minimum on eBay, and my primary display is a projector hooked up to an XRGB-Mini anyway.
YUV to RGB transcoding?

Re: YUV to RGB transcoding?
There's the Garo coming out soon from behabros which takes component and puts out RGBHV and RGBS, it's $85 with shipping I believe. Another option that Fudoh mentioned is to convert the Component signal to HDMI and then use a HDMI to VGA converter to get RGBHV. That solution should be a fair bit cheaper.
I think NTSC Wii's can be flashed to change to a PAL region in which case the Wii will give you RGB over a scart cable.
