Not a true statement in general as component is perfectly capable of sending a 1080p signal (take a look at XBOX360). However not that many TVs will accept a 1080p signal over component (my Pioneer Kuro will). However, for E* and D* you can only get 1080p via HDMI because of HDCP.
Thank you for completing my thought. I left out that those specs where for the DISH receiver. Which seems to have a lot of curious limitations.
I have a Component feed from my Pioneer Receiver to my Samsung DLP and when setting the input to the receiver the input display on the DLP say 1080p. So you are correct.
Hey, We have the same TV's, or possibly
I have a 60" Pioneer Elite (Kuro) as well as 2 - 42" versions :up
My 60" is a few years old now, Pro 150FD, the two 42's are newer, now they don't make them anymore.
I love them all
What are you using ?
Pioneer 6020FD here.
Very sad that they stopped making them as it is the most amazing picture I've ever seen. Mine has been professionally calibrated by one of the best.

Excellent TV's all of them .... I heard the other day that they are deciding to re allocate thier efforts into making Pioneer A/V Receiver's again.
Too bad they can't do both.
Thank for the link earlier in the thread for HDMI cables. It's always cool to check other places out, however I have gotten tons of stuff from Monoprice and I have never had any problems so I wouldn't necessarily be scared of Monoprice if your a new customer. Back to the thread...I am running a 75' 24awg hdmi cable from Monoprice with no issues, 3 years and counting.
Never had a problem with Monoprice. Firefold.com and bluejeanscable.com are two other places I would recommend.
Dd a little research on eforcity.com - it's a Yahoo store run by someone from Funchal, Madeira - a European Island under Portugals domain. Not sure where you are getting these drop shipped from or who is getting the money or where you would have to send defective equipment but the places I recommended are companies based in the US. Monprice is based in CA, Firefold is in NC, and BlueJeansCable is in WA.
Saving money for a good product is all well and good but if you care, take a look.

I did some looking around the Monoprice site and it looks like they only sell 1.3a and not 1.3b, nor anything like the Insten metal jacketed cables/more industrial type.
One man's bastion is another's door number 3.

Why is their domain registered in Madeira if they are a US company?

1.3a and 1.3b certifications just means the cable was submitted for testing and the fees have been paid to label the cable as supporting 1.3a/b. It does not mean that a non-labeled cable will not. Labels are fine if you need one to prove something, the underlying technology relies on physical characteristics of cabling that other cables have but don't need a label and the added cost of that label to work.
Metal jacketed, pure copper, oxygen free, and other marketing tricks make a cable sound great but do little to actually help and may actually hurt the performance of a cable.
Better is a subjective word used mostly by marketing to try to undercut a competitor with a similar / equivalent product.
But, it's a free country - buy whatever makes you feel good!
What does it matter where you register? Anybody anywhere on the planet can register with any accredited Registrar they want and where they want. It doesn't mean that their company is suspect. It's only when the company itself is registered offshore like many of the major US conglomerates do.
This is what I am talking about. Take a good look at the construction of the cable and not the "marketing tricks/hype" as you put it:
INSTEN Premium HDMI Cable 1.3b M/M, 3 FT / 1 M, Metal Black
I have used monoprice before and have recommended them. I placed an order last night for 3-hdmi cables with eforcecity per SandFarmers recommendation. eforcecity has a 9.10/10 reseller rating, for those who care, that is a huge rating. He merely offered his opinion on eforcecity cables he has first hand experience with, which is why I visit forums like this in the first place. The price was right compared to monoprice, free shipping to boot, so I am giving it a shot.
Funchal, Madeira of Portugal is the needle in the haystack. That's just too out there to be an accident. You could look through the domain registrations for 1,000 US companies and not find something that remote. Plus, annual sales of $24M but they have a Yahoo store and a domain registered in Madeira? Too weird...
I compared the 25 foot cables between Monoprice and eforcity. Even though eforcity labels theirs 1.3b compatible, I saw no difference in the specs with the Monoprice cable labeled 1.3a compatible. Both are 10.2 Gbps rated. However, Monoprice shows their cable to be 22AWG and eforcity does not specifiy their wire gauge. The price is half at eforcity so they had to cut costs somewhere. I suspect inferior core conductor material will explain that.
Good luck!
