samsung HLM5065W: two 480 component inputs?

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

I've got an HLN model, but I think Samsung did the inputs the same way. I
think the component 2 and 3 inputs can take 480p/720/1080i signals. As long
as you have your DVD player set to do progressive scan (480p) I think it
should work on component 2.
