Component will also often be the only connection available that will
support progressive scan on a fair bit of kit - so is handy for
projector use.

I know that - but there's no reason RGB couldn't support progressive scan.

Most sets have. For game consoles as well.

Funny but my new tv has hdmi, scart, vga, component, composite, ethernet,
usb but no svideo (not even on a scart).

I suppose its the same problem as using non standard refresh rates on
SCART etc. It could be done, but you would risk damaging kit that was
not expecting it. Perhaps they assume that component connections are new
enough that the designers ought to be aware the the possibility of a non
standard signal there.

They're only really 'new' in the UK. But still doesn't explain their
choice. After all computer analogue monitors are RGB fed.

Not via a scart though... (and I have seen a few of those killed with
improper refresh rates)

I doubt the SCART itself was worried about refresh rates. ;-)

But I was just curious about the principle behind using a component signal
for this use.
