Okay, so I have recieved the projector, the only problem I see is that the fact that, it uses a d-sub in? I haven't really used component before, and saw this projector supports it when I got it. So, how would I go about using the component on a ps2 or xbox, if the thing connects through the xbox in and then the normal red blue green cables? I hope you understand my question, and thank you in advance. I really don't want to end up using S-video either, being some of these games support higher res. So please, I hope you can help me.

I saw your post earlier and forgot to respond... Nobody really responds to anything here!!! Anyway I have both XBOX and PS2 I bought the component sets for both systems to get the High Def resolution on games like Halo 2 and GT4. Go to Radio Shack and buy the connector/adapters that will go between the system compnonet and projection components. I can`t remember if both sides a male or female I always get it mixed up but I hope you understand... They are like 99 cents each at radio shack and 9 bucks each at best buy!
Also If you want to switch between the two consoles and you don`t have a high end data reciever to process and plug you systems into. you will have to unplug the system`s component cables you currently have hooked up and plug in the other systems cables. It`s a pain but it is what it is. Don`t go with the "Y" splitter style cables because they drain from the picture quality.
i also have the same hookup. i used a regular a/v switch for the component cables. works fine, the only problem is you dont have any room for audio. i ran all my audio to my surround sound HTB. the cheap a/v switch is a lot cheaper $10 compared to a component selector $100. just plug the components into each color so red, white, yellow becomes red, blue, green and youll get a cheap alternative. hope you understand all this.
Thanks for the info, I thought about trying that but was worried it would break down the picture integrity. I`m going to pick one up today thanks for the info.
