Let me enjoy my shitty consumer CRT in peace.

Slimy obese fucks like that don't change. They just get better at manipulating.

>nice large bright low-TVL CRTs with component inputs are readily available for cheap or free
Component isn't RGB if we're talking in pure theory. The majority of component input CRTs are flat-screen and that sucks. I don't have any data to back this up but imo the flat screens look kind of dull and probably are lower cd/m2 than traditional curved screen CRTs made a few years earlier.

If you can manage to find a good condition, good model component video television in the size you want with the screen type and glass you want then have at it. But that's a lot of extra caveats away from "there's no reason to use s-video if you have an RGB capable monitor." isn't it.
>There's no reason to settle for S-Video unless you're so poor that you can't afford cables
The number one reason is you find a CRT that is awesome in every way except for having RGB/Component, which is very likely to happen. Try finding a 36" curved screen SD component video television in your neighborhood. The pickings will be slim. Will you wait for a multi-sync video monitor in that size to show up in your life? Good luck.

>You don't lose anything
You very literally do. Look at the screw attack in Metroid. In RGB it uses the same color palette as the missile, but with composite video it has several extra colors added to the effect which makes it look completely different and better.

pic related from an old discussion about shader, but depicts the color difference. Just running on a RGB CRT won't make those extra colors show up. You need NTSC artifacts.
