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.

Also my Oppo says it won't transmit upconverted signals over component. nt - clarkjohnsen 08:11:13 05/01/08 (2)

  The catch is that the CSS copy protection must not be present. This means that retail DVDs ripped by one of the copy protection defeating programs, retail DVDs that don't use CSS (very few, but an example is Digital Video Essentials) and home movies on DVD can be upconverted via the component connection.
