    The problem with RCA cables wasn’t the colors, it was the fact that the back of the tv was huge and you really wanted to not have to get back there. HDMI you can install by feel

        Anything during the 90s to early 00s sold in Europe came with a SCART connector as the main AV connector. If it wasn’t a direct-from-the-unit SCART cable, there would have been an adapter block to turn the RCA into SCART.

        It wasn’t uncommon for cheap TVs to only have RF and SCART.

        Also “is this something I’m too X to understand” is a meme format, I’m aware of other connectors.
