I completely agree. Very good point.

Not entirely true. If your TV is native 1080p then every thing it shows is scaled (or up-converted as you put it) to 1080p. If the scaler in the TV is better then the scaler in the player, the best picture would be had by setting the player to output at the source materia'ls resolution (i.e. 480p) and allowing the TV to do the scaling.

Does HDMI make a difference if you are watching a standard dvd on your TV?

but component cables only support up to 1080i. says it here on monoprice.com

Component video (Y, Pr, Pb / Y, Cr, Cb) is the among the best analog methods for transferring crisp, vibrant video from your various sources. It will support high definition up to 1080i and progressive scan signals. Monoprice offers both standard and premium grade cables. Both are made with the finest materials and constructed with the best craftsmanship.

It is devices with copy protection that keep component from carrying 1080p.The cables have the necessary bandwidth.
