You just purchased a $1300 plasma and you're cheaping out on a $145 HDMI board (TY-FB8HM)?But to answer your question, yes, the plasma will take the input from your DVD player via component and scale that image to its native resolution.

Cheaping out is my middle name!If the HDMI board would make a big difference in the picture I'd be willing to shell out $200. I already have component video cables, but would have to spend about $50 on an HDMI cable.
Where we're using the plasma we will never be watching from closer than 10', and most viewing will be more like 12' to 14'. The room and furnishings won't cooperate with any closer viewing distances.
From what I've been reading, the HDMI hookup won't make a difference at these kind of distances. Of course, I haven't seen this with my own eyes.
Should I get a player with HDMI, use component for now and not worry, then if we set it up in a smaller dedicated room later get the HDMI card and cable?

At your seating distance, neither HDMI nor upscaling will make a difference to what you will see from this display.And since when do you have to spend $50 on an HDMI cable? Both monoprice.com and ramelectronics.net have inexpensive cables that will serve your purpose at $15 - $20.
If I buy the HDMI cables I'll get the $15 to $20 ones.Rod
