Nearly all modern DVD players and set-top boxes with SCART sockets can output RGB signal, which offers superior picture quality to composite signal. However, many devices do not have RGB output turned on by default, instead defaulting to composite video:  RGB often has to be set up manually in the menu or via switches on the back of the device.{{citation needed|date=August 2019}}

The [[GameCube]], [[Wii]], [[Neo-Geo]], [[Dreamcast]], [[PlayStation (console)|PlayStation]], [[PlayStation 2]], [[PlayStation 3]], [[Xbox (console)|Xbox]] and [[Xbox 360]] can output [[RGBS|RGB]], [[component video]], S-Video, or composite video. These consoles come with the standard composite video connector, but the manufacturers and third parties sell connectors for component video hookup and for RGB SCART hookup. Where the Nintendo GameCube and Xbox automatically switch to the proper mode, the PlayStation 2 must be told via a selection in the system menu whether it is to use YP<sub>B</sub>P<sub>R</sub> or RGB video. RGB is only available on [[PAL region]] GameCube and Wii consoles, while S-Video is only available on NTSC consoles.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://members.optusnet.com.au/eviltim/gamescart/gamescart.htm#gamecube |title=Game Console RGB SCART Cable Diagrams |publisher=Members.optusnet.com.au |access-date=2012-06-15}}</ref>

Some older consoles such as the [[Master System]], [[Sega Genesis|Mega Drive/Genesis]], and [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] output RGB, and many older home computers ([[Amstrad CPC]], later [[ZX Spectrum]] models, [[MSX]], [[Amiga]], [[Atari ST]], [[BBC Micro]] and [[Acorn Archimedes]], etc.) output RGB with composite sync suitable for SCART use, via DIN plugs. Standard-resolution arcade monitors use RGB signals with a composite sync, which is SCART-compatible.

Besides simple connection of external devices to SCART TVs, RGB SCART is used in the [[retrogaming]] scene for connecting vintage games consoles (including ones internally modified for RGB or 60&nbsp;Hz RGB where necessary) to:

*RGB SCART inputs of upscalers / analogue-to-digital converters; these output over HDMI at higher than original resolution, to modern TVs / monitors / projectors / capture cards, or, via further conversion (HDMI to VGA digital-to-analogue) CRT PC monitors

*RGB SCART to RGB BNC adapters and into RGB CRT professional video monitors

*RGB SCART to S-video converters, for achieving the best video quality on a  combination of a TV / monitor with S-video as its best input but with a console that cannot output S-video, but can output RGB as its best output

The [[SAM Coupé]] microcomputer also uses a SCART connector for its output, however it is a non-standard pinout.<ref>{{cite web |title=RGB Scart |url=https://www.worldofsam.org/products/rgb-scart |website=World of SAM |access-date=19 April 2023}}</ref>
