Most TV's don't support a 1080p signal through component, and I don't think a Blu-Ray player can transmit a 1080p signal through component cables (having difficulty finding actual verification on this though).
HDMI cables are cheaper than component cables, and your signal reliability problems are almost nil, so if you have an HDMI slot, use it. If you are worried about master audio, etc., you might want to make sure you have an HDMI 1.3 compliant cable.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
Ok. You can get 1080p with component for games and such. But you can not watch movies since they restrict it. Since HDCP doesnt work over Component only HDMI/DVI does so the PS3 downgrades the movie it. The best you can watch is 1080i with component.
My TV supports 1080p component.
However, dont quote me on this but I believe the media also has the ability to prevent any HD output with out HDMI/DVI. So the best you can do is 480p with component but no movie has implemented this "feature" yet.
Image Constraint Token (ICT) is the name of the flag that is on the media. You can look it up on wiki. In a nut shell if you don't have a secure connection HDCP (HDMI/DVI) and this flag is active. No HD for you.
