Let me just add this:

TVs with RGB input, usually, *will not* accept component video.

Reason being, component video uses YPbPr encoding. Its luma (Y), blue difference (Pb) and red difference (Pr). Yes, it uses red, green, and blue cables; but its not the same as pure RGB, which is basically sending a full bandwidh luma signal of each color component.

When component video started becomming standard, a lot of people thought they could get a VGA to 3 rca adapter and hook the TV up to the computer. Sometimes it worked; the computer would output a proper HDTV YPbPr signal; or the TV happen to accept an RGB signal.
