17" CRT - Worth Keeping?

Do American TVs normally have RGB inputs? As I said, UK ones do (and I asusme European ones do too) on what is knwon as a SCART socket (a strange 21 pin connector carrying 2 channels of audio, composite video, RGB video, sometimes S video and a few other signals). We often also get a separate compsoite video input on an RCA phono socket, 'component video' (which appears to be luminance and 2 colour difference signals on 3 RCA phono sockets), often a VGA input (DE15, of course) and HDMI digital inputs. I prefer CRT-based monitors when I have to fix them. The LCD ones normally hagve a lot of very custom silicon in hard-to-solder packages (BGAs sometimes) which are even harder to get as spare parts. At leas CRT monitos have power transistors and things that I have a hope of getting :-). Older LCD monitors (and I guess some cheaper ones now) had a very poor contrast radio -- blacks looked dark grey -- which drove me mad. Modern ones are a lot better in my experience. -tony
