Ah. I see. Your HDTV has no DVI or VGA option, so you *had* to get some kind of component output adapter for anything better than S-Video or composite. But given that my TV does have a DVI input, are you saying that the 9A60 won't give me anything better than what I can do with DVI today, or is it possible that the TV might accept different (e.g., better-than-540p) resolutions over component video than it can over DVI?
