Mine was a deal. I'd have gone for a far less desirable monitor had it not been a fantastic deal.
Yeah, if you're in SCART-land, go ahead and use it, I'm sure SCART cables are more common to have lying around there than they are here. Your TV's actually supporting them without extra adapters helps lots.

For the SNES, if you use RCA jacks for RGB, you have to add 220uf capacitors between where you tap RGB and the RCA jacks, where the negative leg of the capacitor faces the RCA jack you're outputting to.

On the Genesis/Mega Drive, you don't have to add caps to the RGB lines (there's no DC offset), but you do have to either buffer the composite sync output of the DIN connector, or apparently you can pull it from pin 11 of the CXA1145 video encoder as well with a 75 ohm resistor and a 220uf capacitor (though I tried that method and it didn't work for me).

Because I couldn't find illustrations of the pin locations on the bottom of the mega drive/genesis PCB, I mapped it out when I did the mod. Here's how it looks, along with a photo of what the underside of my console's DIN connector looks like now.
