Gonk and Tamara, sorry for the subject evolution: I am glad I am not the only one who still has a perfectly working 1080i hdtv with only component video inputs. None of the reviews I have read about PS3, Blu-ray or HD-DVD players has ever reported on how HD movies actually look on a 1080i TV using the component video output. The reviewers are always playing with the latest 1080p display at the same time. It would seem there is still quite a large existing market of potential consumers of new players and HD/BD disks who are limited to 1080i component video. Has anyone ever seen an HD-DVD or Blu-ray player on a 1080i component video display?
