as far as I know, the 970 is the only model that can be hacked to output 1080i/720p over component for EVERY movie. Look it up on AVSforum.com.

Otherwise, both the 980 and the 970 will output only 480p over component.

Brotherbob,

That makes sense then for what you need it for, just wanted to make sure you considered all your options
