I thought the "HD Ready" logo was fairly strictly controlled, and
could
only be applied to panels that have HDCP capable HDMI or DVI inputs, and
at least enough pixels for 720p...? Isn't there a "HD compatible"
moniker for the panels that can display a HDTV image, even if it's not
the full one?

(Also, I don't see how HDCP over Component would even be possible...)
