Gonk,

If you may, Perhaps you can answer this question:

My Loewe Aconda 38 inche tube has component and VGA inputs. No HDMI or DVI.

There are some $499 converters that can go DVI to VGA which would be nice for connecting the 990 as you might well imagine.

$499 is steep to pay for this, but what I can't find out is will I really gain anything substantial. I have been told my upscaler in the Loewe is exeptional and feeding it component signals is just fine.

Picture wise, and this is all that matters, my old DVD player looks really nice as is. Same from my HD cable box into component.

But, If I can get some improvement and added convienence, why not?

Thanks!
