As someone who owns unmodded consoles and can't into modding myself, is it worth it to buy a PVM/BVM? The video output is absolutely superb but I wouldn't know where to begin connecting consoles. Is there a way to connect things like S-video etc for those consoles which don't support RGB natively (N64, NES)?
Most consoles support RGB, N64 is a trivial 15 dollar mod that's easier to install than a PS1 modchip. NES really isn't worth it, just emulate or run composite.
I've yet to see a PVM that can't do composite (older models may not do S-video.) With a BVM you'd have to make sure it has the NTSC card (that second input from the right) because that's what handles composite and Y/C. That said quit being a baby and learn to solder it's not hard.

Alright so maybe I'll be able to mod my N64 but how do I hook things up to a monitor like this? Do I need RGB-BNC adaptors or what
Also no idea about sync or any of that

Scart to BNC covers pretty much everything I've thrown at it, and RGB scart cables for basically any console are easily available, and some can be re-used for multiple consoles, like SNES and N64.

If you have one of the earlier models, not even 15.
The later models require considerably more work, and in particular soldering to some pretty fine pitch stuff.

Yes, there's an S-Video adapter available. https://www.amazon.com/S-Video-Adapter-4-Pin-S-VHS-Connectors/dp/B004GIDT00/ref=cm_cr-mr-title

wtf are you talking about. Just get some chinch-BNC-adapters and plug that fucking composte in Video /a/ or video /b/.

a PVM/BVM also has better quality with composite than a consumer set with composite. It's because them PVM/BVMs are better quality in general. You can still switch to RGB later. Si-Video however is often not available.

>is it worth it to buy a PVM/BVM?
Fuck no.

The second mod does provide slightly better image quality though.

What's the retarded price cutoff
