Excellent, thank you. I wish I could sneak it over to the parent's house and check it out before Christmas. :) I'm probably more excited than they are lol.

Actually, I'm incorrect. It's not component, it's AV. I don't have a component cable it seems... so maybe the AV is not very good quality and once we move to Component or DVI, it'll be a lot better.
