1. S-video is not shit.
2. RGB monitors are not "fairly cheap" especially in large sizes.
3. Large RGB monitors are also uncommon unless you pay ridiculous prices on ebay
4. S-video capable televisions are both common and cheap, even in the very large sizes.

Now if you said Component video that would be a bit different. When it comes down to picking among the televisions and monitors in the market with S-video and Component you should be looking at other factors than just the type of input signal it can take. I'll take a near-mint 36" S-video television over a banged up 36" Component television every day. Especially since the S-video TV probably has a curved tube.

If it's a very old CRT it may have properties like color processing or screen design which I find preferable. Or I might just like how it looks. pic related.

Still, it's about what you can find in your area.
