SJ, "1080p TVs cannot accept 1080p through component." I wasn't aware of this. I wonder if that is a limitation of the specific display product rather than Component video transport. While I recognize Component video being a 'consumer' video transport, this shouldn't be misinterpreted as analog video transport limitation.
One only needs ~35 MHz for 1080i DTV, but they would need double that for 1080P60. One could make their own short-length (less than 50-feet) 18AWG Component cables. BTW, even the Westinghouse 1080P LCD displays are accepting RGBhv (analog) up to 1080P, so the HDMI exclusivity isn't there in all products. Then again, RGBhv is better than Component anyway.
I would say its more of a display manufacturer shortcoming than a video transport limitation. But, HDMI cables can be had online for $10.
