You mention there are a few DVD players that will upconvert via the component output. I've recently been looking for just that type of DVD player. Have you any suggestions?

I've got a NEC LT240k projector that has VGA and component inputs, but no DVI or HDMI. The projector is capable of XGA resolution. The only DVD player I've found so far that upconverts through component (or VGA would probably work) is the LG LDA-531 ( Canadian model ). But reading the fine print it says in the manual it will only upconvert "unprotected" DVD's via the component output. It won't upconvert retail DVD movies for some odd reason via component, just via HDMI.
