> Vast majority of CRT TVs(not monitors) didn't have VGA input, neither component, the cheaper ones at least. Correct, because most devices going into a television didn't operate on RGB (outside of game consoles). Thus the preference for Component. It was certainly available, but exceedingly rare. And the rare people who did have them and a Dreamcast got the absolute best quality. > The more premium and higher end CRT TVs did have component but almost nobody had them here where I grew up in the 90's and early 2000s. I'm assuming you grew up in Europe, which is kind of the whole point, isn't it? Component was widely available on non-budget television brands/lines in the US. You could grab a component cable for anything from PS2/GameCube/Xbox on, and S-Video for the majority before that (common with PSX and Saturn). Obviously the majority of Americans ran it through RF or composite, since that was just simpler and cheaper. But if you wanted high quality configurations, the options were all there for you outside of "superior" SCART.
