If I understand you correctly you have tried [email protected], [email protected] and 1080i. Have you tried (720p) [email protected] since it may be a misprint that is will accept 1080i over component since it was uncommon for VGA inputs on HDTVs five years ago to accept higher resolution interfaced video over VGA. A progressive [email protected] video is not the same the same as 1920x1080 interlaced video which concists of 30 even line field and 30 odd line fieds per second. Many video card drivers have 1080i as a specific selection for use with HDTV display interfaces such as component and DVI/HDMI.
