I'd like to hook up a second computer to a 40" LCD TV. One computer is using the only VGA port, and there is no HDMI. So I'm stuck with component, s video, and composite. Component is the best, how good does the signal look for using a computer on it? I'm pretty sure the tv can do 480i and 480p, and pretty sure 720i... not to sure on 720p though.

EDIT: I just checked the back of the TV, there actually is a HDMI connector (lol I swore there wasn't one on there). I'll just use that then! Still I'd like to know how component look.
 
It will look a little bit less vibrant, and the refresh rates may be a little bit lower than using a digital connection.
 
Component should look just as good as HDMI - depending on a number of factors.
