26" LCD MONITOR!!!

I've never heard of component output on 2600 or NES. Is there?
ChadTower:
No, but there wasn't composite out on the 2600 either. Not directly, anyway.
ahofle:
True...RF to composite, but still...480i. Why did you say component?
I was just surprised to hear of a newer TV that didn't support a 480i signal.

Because 480i is usually sent via the component cables when they are present. Is 480i over composite even possible? I thought it required the three separate cables.
EDIT: Linkage
Couldn't remember why so I looked that up. Definitely not 480i over composite as the 480i standard requires separate signals for blue luma, red luma, and chroma - the three cables in a "component" connection. Why not green luma too? Got me on that one. ???

480p requires it, but 480i can be composite/component/etc. For example, the crappy composite connector that comes with the Wii only supports 480i output -- you need the component adapter to do 480p.
