Component Connection Can Give 1080p?

If so, I assume one's display then needs to have that resolution. I thought one needed HDMI for 1080p.

There are many displays on the market with <1920x1080 resolution that accept 1920x1080p via analog. I have a 6 series 50" commercial Panasonic plasma (released Q3 03) that accepts 1920x1080p via YPbPr, RGB(HV) or VGA -- yet the screen resolution is only 1366x768. Unfortunately, via DVI, it won't accept 1920x1080p from my PS3, so I have to send it 1920x1080i.

Why not 1080p via one of the analog inputs? Because 1080p is not allowed for movies with Blu-ray (nor HD DVD) and the digital input looks sharper and more "real" than the 10-bit A/Ded analog inputs.

    1920x1080p, via analog, is not allowed for Blu-ray nor HD DVD. The copy protection system used for the production of the discs, AACS, restricts this output.
    
    If you have a PS3, you can get analog 1920x1080p for the PS3's system menu and native 1080p games or by upscaling the SD games, but Blu-ray movies will not be output at this resolution.

    - thanks, I could not tell if you meant by industry fiat or just your TV - Duilawyer 12:43:35 08/19/07 (0)
      I should have been more clear.
