===========================
Better quality TVs have up to 4 (and sometimes more) different types of inputs.
Basic ones are (listed in order of quality - roughly):
1) RF - old "cable" type connector with screw-on "F" Connection.
2) Composite - yellow RCA connector
3) S-Video - quasi "din" type connector
4) RGB - Computer type connection
5) Component - Y Pb Pr RCA (several colors)
6) DVI or other newer variations.
One of my DVD players can be connected to a computer - but why?
