I am assuming you will be connecting the video via component which looks just as good as HDMI.
I was intending to bypass the TV speakers anyway so I am glad I assumed correctly. Is there any benefit of me running HDMI for the video and optical for audio intead of running component for video? I ask this because if I use component won't I lose the upconversion of SD DVDs on my PS3?
