Re: 1080p via Component or VGA

Just yesterday I stopped in a local mom & pop home theater store looking
for a tv which can accept a 1080p signal via component or VGA. Both the
salesperson and the owner told me that there is no tv on the market which
can accept 1080p via component nor VGA. They told me that the highest
resolution any tv on the market currently can accept over component or
VGA is 1080i. They went on to say that the only way to get 1080p to a
tv is over HDMI.

Is this true?

I've been looking at Mitsubishi's 2007 line-up which are supposed to be 1080p capable. According to the spec sheets for their Medallion series, 1080p is only supported on the digital inputs. The analog component inputs only go to 1080i, but the set will convert the 1080i internally to 1080p.

Don't know about other manufacturers - sorry.
