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.

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.   ???

ahofle:

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.
