Notes
Component looks great, however there are chroma sub-sampling artifacts. (See the pic of the N64 emulated via the Wii as a clear example.)
Amazingly, this set supports RGBHV via RCA connections, with the same resolutions as component. I'm not certain, but I believe using RGB can bypass the chroma sub-sampling and you will have uncompressed 4:4:4 color.
This set is part of a six-channel surround sound system. The TV functions as front left, center and right channels, and accompanying surround speakers and subwoofer can be integrated with it.
