using component outputs HD DVD

Posted by 2ms (A) on July 31, 2007 at 14:57:37

I have an approximately 4 year old Philips 30" HD CRT TV. It was their top-of-the-line model and consumer reports' top-rated model by a wide margin back then (in case that rings any bells for anyone). Of course, it's crap compared to new tvs I'm sure, but maybe most pertinently right now for me, it only has component video ins.

I have been out of the loop and do not know who is winning the format war, anything about these connectors like HDMI, etc.

However, I do know that I have always felt that DVDs look like crap compared to even the non-HD recorded but HD broadcasted content I used to get over HD channels on cable.

My DVD player just broke and I think I'll get an HD-DVD player as long as it works with my TV.

Please tell me whether or not using component video with an HD-DVD player is a good idea and what the results will be.
