Why not? Seems like RGB is the second simplest baseband video
connection you can make to a modern TV. I even have a VGA-to-RGB cable
that I made where the clever bit is a transistor and two resistors to
combine the sync, and a "strange" modeline that the ATi chipset in my PC
understands.

RGB video,
like the kind used on the Apple //gs and the Commodore
128, is another issue entirely. You're not going to get it working
on any TV without some work (I know the C128's RGB port would be
particularly nasty). You're not going to get rid of the dedicated
monitors for these machines. I keep a CBM 1084S monitor around just
for this purpose.
At least on the 128 you could get monochrome video out of that connector.
