Hey guys, I have just built my first HTPC. Everything is great except that the video flickers using the s-video connection built into my video card, so I went and got the component adapter for my ATI card. I have this TV, which has component inputs. Now, I know it can support 480i (obviously), but I can't find anything about what other modes it will handle. Does anyone know offhand or know how I can find out? Thanks.

Thats not a HD tv according to the description.


Right, I didn't think it was. I'm an HDTV n00b, so does that mean I'm limitied to 480i over the component?

Yep, 480i. Found the manual on JVC's site, and found this section of text:
NOTE: Progressive DVD Players (players with an output scan of 31.5 KHz) will not work properly with this television.
 
Thanks for the help; I hooked it up. At least it got rid of the S-video flicker!
