I have absolutely no problems with the OSD on component. I use the OSD pretty heavily since the screen is a bit hard to see so I'll often be listening to CDs on my DVD player. At present the only video connection to my TV is through the component input and it displays the OSD regardless of source. I am not, however, running anything through the DVI channel. As far as I'm aware that's the only one that doesn't display the OSD.
