I have an approximately 5 year old Philips 30" HD CRT TV. It was consumer reports' top-rated model by a wide margin back then (in case that rings any bells for anyone). Of course, it's crap compared to new tvs I'm sure.

But anyway, I only have component ins, of course. I have been out of the loop and do not know who is winning the format war, anything about these connectors like HDMI, etc.

However, I do know that I have always felt that DVDs look like crap compared to even the non-HD recorded but HD broadcasted content I used to get over HD channels on cable.

My DVD player just broke and I think I'll get an HD-DVD player as long as it works with my TV.

Please tell me whether or not using component video with an HD-DVD player is a good idea and what the results will be.
