S-video would not be "authentic" either for the PCE, but composite would, using a converter like the one linked above by hellbelly. Granted, we can assume that the composite converted from the MiSTer's RGB will not look exactly the same as the original composite from a PCE IFU-30, CoreGrafx, or SuperGrafx. The original composite is relatively good, so I'm actually interested in seeing this comparison once I get my hands on a VGA2NTSC.
Component (or RGB) would certainly be acceptable to me and probably few others, but not to our sets that lack the ports. I know it's possible to mod televisions although I'm not inclined to do this and seeing these two videos just reinforces the idea.

The results from 8-Bit Guy show his mod produces a much cleaner picture (i.e. with less noise and artifacts), but at the same time when tested on his Genesis the colors seemed to have been a bit washed out? See also Jaek_3's post/results here:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=63425 The second vid from pcbjunkie shows how difficult and complex the process is of modding my tv (we have similar sets).
RetroTINK's VGA2NTSC encoder looks promising. I looked at two other VGA to composite/s-video adapters in Amazon. One from manufacturer StarTech.com and the other from brand eKL. Both have mixed reviews and I'm quite hesitant to experiment as I've tried using a similar product in the past. Got it to work, but it produced a less than pretty picture.
