Hey, I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I've got an LCD HDTV but for some stupid reason it doesn't have the Component video slots neccesary for 480p. Is there any converter that can be used to enable 480p or am I f***ed?
My TV has got:
USB slot
VGA slot
S-video slot
PC audio slot
HP slot
Composite video slots
HDMI slot (obviously)

Interesting, but it looks like a bit of a hassle, what with it requiring a power source and I would have to constantly unplug and replug if I wanted to play on my PS3.

normally, 480p looks better than 480i

But things can vary. For example, I have an expensive television with great deinterlacing capabilities. For most devices I actually get better image quality when I use an interlaced signal because after deinterlacing by my television the image looks better than if I had used a progressive signal from the start.

Most likely 480p will be better though.

You could try a converter to vga as these are passive they will be a lot cheaper in general, though you also need to convert convert the audio into a 3.5 mm jack those converters are also quite inexpensive.
