My understanding was that hd over compenent was still digital and not analog. I have my computer set up to output 720p over compenent and it looks absolutely amazing. Makes me want to put windows on it to play some classic RTS games (like TA). :) My TV is only 720p so I can't test 1080p, but my guess is it would work just fine, besides the blue ray problems mentioned. It seems really odd that blueray does that, since HDMI != HDCP and HDCP is pretty much dead. It's hard to even find a TV that does HDCP anymore, not that anyone would ever want to. There was a HUGE backlash from consumers over that fiasco. So basically, you have blueray downgrading when it's not HDMI, but HDMI isn't copy protected anyway, so I suppose you could buy an HDMI switch that also outputs compenent. blueray -HDMI-> switch -compenent-> TV. A little round about and annoying, but puts sony and their CRAP in their place. -- Government is a disease that masquerades as its own cure -- Robert Lefevre /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
