TVs have had S-video since.....the early to mid 90s, and I see very few around here older than that. |

The smaller the TV, the lesser it's features is the general rule for CRTs. Though most of Sony's CRTs even at 19" were built with S-Video input. I don't think it'd be impossible but it would be more difficult. |

The cheapest 19" ones tended to have just RF and A/V inputs right up until all CRTs disappeared from the shelves a few years ago. As late as the mid-'90s you could still get cheap 19" and even 25" TVs that didn't even have A/V inputs; just RF. And when it came to people buying new 19" TVs during the S-video era, they tended to go for the cheapest ones (people looking to spend more money were also typically looking for bigger TVs than 19"). Before the '90s, 19" was considered a decent sized TV, so people were more likely to shell out extra money for ones with better quality/more features. However, at that time, S-video (introduced in '87) was rare except on the top end stuff. When the 25" and larger TVs became cheap in the '90s, and S-video became more common, the 19" TVs became more of an economy choice, or a choice for the bedroom or whatever; rather than a choice as a main TV; so they tended to go for the cheapest ones, which tended to lack S-video. |

Guess it's a USA problem. In Europe all small TV's have SCART with RGB and S-video inputs. |
