resolution correction

Component can most definitely transmit 1920x1080p resolution. As an example, PS3 games encoded in 1080p (and even the PS3's Xbar menu) can be sent to a display at 1920x1080p resolution over component.

However, copy protection protocol for movies limits Blu-ray and HD DVD output to 720p/1080i and DVD to 480p for component output. You need HDMI, which uses HDCP, to output 1080p from a Blu-ray, HD DVD or DVD player.
