I figured I would give it a shot to see if I could finally have a use for component, but it was a no-go. My Sapphire 5850 had no problems trying to show it as a second screen, but my TV just wouldn't show a picture. I tried changing the resolution in Catalyst Control Center, but not one of the dozen or so options made the TV show a picture. My TV's connections are YPbPr, so maybe that's the problem (even though it says in the description that it works w/that connection). Or maybe it's just time for me to get a new TV with HDMI and a long HDMI cable to my computer. Hello Christmas wish!
