This is completely irrelevant outside of North American because of prevalence of SCART in PAL regions and the JP-21 connector in Japan but north america never got RGB capable TVs (save for a few rare and obscure models).
I've often wondered if they could be hacked to add in support for RGB and after much searching I came across this: https://web.archive.org/web/2011121...ding-an-rgb-input-to-a-cheap-generic-ntsc-tv/
that's not even the real article, it's an archive.org snapshot because the original has mysteriously disappeared. but it covers the challenges and process of converting at least one cheap chinese model TV.
I was wondering if anyone else had experience with this? or knows of a resource where I might find diagrams for CRT models so that we could identify CRTs where this might be possible (they use to have TV repair shops, surely there are schematics SOMEWHERE right?)
