If your TV has component in, I would guess that it also has HDMI or DVI? If so, that is the obvious choice. If not, then you are looking at getting a converter box. I bought a Sony Wega a few years ago specifically because it had DVI...nowadays you'll only find HDMI, but that can be used with a DVI to HDMI adapter.
