On the other hand when using an upconverting DVD player, Blu-Ray or HD-DVD player, you should use HDMI. The Oppo players for instance pass much higher quality video over HDMI vs component (for the older models that still have component out).
This is a good point - upconversion of DVD content is generally restricted to DVI/HDMI output (component being capped at 480p). Some older players ignored this, but those players have disappeared. HD-DVD and Blu-ray players will output at 1080i as long as no studios start using the ICT on new releases (the Image Constraint Token would force players to scale the image down to a quarter of the full resolution for component output when set for a specific title).
