2407 1080i support over component (A00, A01, A02?)
So does 2407 *actually* support 1080i through component cables, and if so, in what revisions (A00,A01,A02)? I have yet to see *anyone* on any forum who has used this monitor and tested it with a 1080i device through component cable say it worked properly. Either it is fuzzy possibly being down-converted to 540p, which from the sound of it can be confirmed on the OSD/menus, or it simply doesn't work at all, giving an error saying it doesn't support the signal.
I've been waiting to see if I should hold out for A02 due to theoretical 1080i support. But, if A02 doesn't actually improve the situation, and the only difference is the default color settings, then it really doesn't matter much between A01 and A02 (unless there is some other change no one knows about yet).

Anyway, I believe I have already found the answer to my question. The chip used by the 2407 can only deinterlace standard definition (i.e., 480i) signals, and not high definition 1080i signals. To get around this, the 2407 is dropping every other line, turning it into 540p. Thus, 1080i looks quite ugly, and though it 'works', you'd want to avoid it, and opt for something like 720p (and maybe 1080p).

That's F%&#@ up. But we are only talking about interlaced video correct. That royally ticks me off, do you have a link or two I could look at. This is not the monitor I paid for.
