 Interesting, that must be something new.  Not around here; high end 
Most european TVs have been fitted with something called a SCART socket 
for over 20 years now. This is a horrible 21 pin connector (Well, 20 pins 
and an overall screen) which carries 2 channels of audio in and out, 
compositie video in and out (also used for the sync signal for the RGB 
signals), RGB in (to the TV), blanking, etc. 

More recently, S-video (separate luminance and chromanance) has been put 
on the SCART connector too, using 2 of the RGB pins IIRC. But I've yet to 
see a TV which doesn't also allow them to be used for the original RGB 
functions.
