Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to have 1080p through component, as I got the new sony braiva hd tv today, and does 1080p, but I only have component cables. I turned everything on and it says current output is 1080p, but is it actually displaying 1080p properly? I turned it down to 720p cause I wasn't sure. I was just hoping it can do 1080p. My ps3 looks pretty sweet in 720p already I just thought I'd see what 1080p looks like.

errrr ? components can output only at 720p (or 1080i) but not 1080p, you obsolutely need HDMI cables for 1080p.

Component cables CAN output at 1080p, but not that many tv's accept a 1080p signal via component. I'm not sure if Bravias will accept 1080p via component. My Sony SXRD only takes up to 1080i with component though. Just as a side note, if your tv does take 1080p via component, you'll only be able to display games at 1080p. Blu-ray movies will be 1080i due to HDCP. If you want 1080p blu-ray, you'll need HDMI or DVI.

Well I don't know if my tv is lying or ps3 is lying, it's saying current output is 1080p, but I dont' know how to get the tv to check it. So that's why I ask.

On your Ps3, go to display settings manual, and uncheck everything Except 1080p. Make sure the game runs at 1080p, and reset the system and go from there, if its running in 1080p it will say so......

I re-read your original post. Well, if your PS3 is set to 1080p and your tv is displaying it, then your tv is displaying 1080p lol. If you set it it to 1080p and your tv doesn't display anything, then you would only be able to go up to 1080i via component, but it doesn't seem this is the case. Keep in mind what I said in my other post about blu-ray and 1080p though.
