Why were Americans too stupid to understand RGB SCART, S-Video, or Component video? Why did they insist on using the worst video signal possible for almost 30 years straight?

>Why were Americans
stopped reading there

Thanks for the bump fatty.

>50fps
Fuck off europoor

>implying any of those signals I just listed are exclusive to PAL

You can't even tell the difference. Nobody cares.

Are you literally blind?

Dreamcast used S-Video, so I used that until I transitioned to VGA. But I had my start with my Master System and Genesis daisy-chained over RF.

???

I've had a number of TVs with S-Video, it was just recently with the newer HD TVs where I only had access to composite for standard def inputs. Shame we never got RGB SCART because thats great shit.

Most consoles don't even take RGB unless you mod them, retard. Many TVs only had either composite of the shitty RF.

S-Video and component are pretty common

Basically everything released after 1991 supports RGB natively retard.

samefag? he didn't say otherwise

Are you a retard

no one uses composite anymore

Well, are you? What the fuck are even talking about?

FUCK YOU!

>N64

rank all the cables

White > yellow > brown > black

Exception to the rule, and at any rate I mentioned S-Video too.

American Televisions were too reliable for their own good.
European televisions would have a much shorter lifespan than the american ones which allowed them to introduce new technology like s-video.
Manufacturers would see that RCA cables are much more common in america and manufacture their products to meet the largest market.

why did yuropoors cap their shit at 50fps?

Composite: SOUL
S-video: SOULLESS

Games were designed for composite back then.

The picture is clearer but the waterfell doesn't work as intended anymore.

>American Televisions were too reliable for their own good.
Yep, I have a 30-year-old TV that still works
