My tv is 1080i, and yes it has component in but like I said no DVI or VGA or HDMI. I've looked for a video card with component out, but I haven't seen one yet. All I've seen are converters that go from either DVI or VGA to component.

Tomtuttle, do you mean the video card or the converter when you say if the resolution is 480 I won't see much of an improvement?
