I know for a fact it works, who needs internet sites to say it? (They're so accurate and reliable.) :) Did you understand what I wrote, maybe I was too obtuse or wordy?

I doubt *you* will be able to do it though, because it is almost guaranteed that somebody who wants to do it in the U.S. would *not* have the required equipment just *by accident*. IOW you have to go a bit out of your way to get it, though it's possible monoprice has a gadget that would assist (some of their stuff is a bit legally "sketchy" in the U.S.).

It is not even "legal" to put out any component video in any resolution from new BDPs now, least in the U.S.

Like I said before, your first prob is getting a source that will do it, there never were that many of them over here, if there isn't some monoprice etc. gadget to convert the video. The next and vastly more expensive problem is finding a display that accepts 1080p component.
