I'd hate to only have to connect things up with just Composite Video or S-Video, so what kind of connectors are on your TVs to give you proper RGB... :)

Well, he's talking about one of Amigamaniac's adapters, so that would be s-video, but it really is great quality s-video.

Beyond that, several models of TVs have VGA in, that can sometimes be used for RGB.
Frequencies depending...

So does that mean devices like DVD players/recorders etc... in the states all come with no RGB output !!!

In the beginning, they came with Composite and S-Video for the low end.
But almost all of the higher quality devices had at least "component"  video:

(That's not RGB, but Luma, Blue and Red)

Currently, they all come with HDMI out..

(I know what component video is... ;))
I figured  you did.. ;-)  Just being thorough..

Yeah, I was up on the whole PAL/NTSC thing, but I'd never heard of SCART until I got "back" into the Amiga...
At which point, I was thinking..  HEY!  WE NEED THAT!!!  :(

To be fair, I don't have a very discerning eye, and good s-video looks (TO ME) as good as RGB, at least on the examples I've seen...  

But I still see the ease at which you all connect virtually anything to SCART..

It's not fair really.  Not only do you HAVE all the kual stuff like SCART and castles (no, Disneyland's Magic Kingdom doesn't count!!), but the stuff you don't want anymore, like Ozzie, you give to us!!!!!
