I've bought this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-EU-SCA...hash=item2106c8c48e:m:mTjjyw5yFryu5nLNwk2optg

I know that is not the best option, but by the feedback, in 720p the lag is minimal so i'm going to try it.

I'll like to buy OSSC, but i'll wait for a DIY kit to get it cheaper

It's really not worth it from the research I've done. It really depends on your TV and how it handles upscaling. At most this will turn a bad TV into an average one from the reviews and the testings I've seen.
 
It's only worth it if your TV's upscaler is below average.
The real issue, that most people completely skim over, is response time and aspect ratio.

Old TVs were 5:4. It upscales like ass on any 16:9 TV. Also, most of these units introduce skipped frames, which totally kill the smoothness of many 50hz games.

I've heard that quality on those units is totally ass. I've also tried a Gonbes GBS8200 myself, and it's ass as well. I really miss my 1084S...

I have to test it, because my new tv doesnt have scart and only have composite and component adapter.

The composite adapter dont accept rgb signal and i was searching a lot for a scart to component adapter and its too expensive, so, i know that the quality are not the best, i am more concern about the lag input and for the fact i can play my retro consoles on the new tv.

BTW my new tv is a Samsung UE40KU6000K

Let me know what you think of it, but I'm pretty sure you'll have a bad time. Lag input is pretty bad with those as well.

If I were in you I'd save a bit of money and buy an OSSC, I've heard those are excellent. That's what I'm gonna do myself.

I've read in several places that in 720p that device is not that bad... 1,4 frame delay... but soon i get, soon i put here a feedback
 
Also the new model will have a direct output to HDMI so I have heard, so you won't need an adapter :)
 
Necrobumping this because anyone looking at the discussions here involving the Framemeister and the OSSC should know that they're going to stop making the Framemeister after 2017. The IC they use which is Marvell's "Kyoto G-2" is being phased out and won't be produced anymore and with no prospects of a replacement they cannot keep making the scaler. This coming year may be the last one where you can find them easily because after they get their last yearlong shipment in February there will be no restocks therefore preventing them from making any more Framemeisters. In addition Micomsoft has no plans to release a new model and shareholders are saying that it may be the last of the XRGB line. The "Rolls Royce" of scalers is about to get a rarity pricehike. If you're choosing between the two this is your last chance because the Framemeister XRGB mini may become harder to find.
