>So can we say that for CRTVs, S-video on an aperture grille is as sharp as component on a slot mask?
Pretty much, a tad better on the component set (assuming no processing and neutral sharpness)
>Also, if component is not an NTSC signal then how come you can plug the luma (green) component plug into a composite jack on the CRTV and get high quality black and white picture? You can even plug composite video into the green component jack of a CRTV and get black and white picture.
because the luma part is (theorically) the same between composite, s-video and component. You get lower quality with composite because as I said luma on it has to go through a low-pass filter because of colorburst subcarrier.
>Are the colours sent by component closer to RGB colours or closer to S-video colours?
RGB, assuming conversion is done well
