does the 2407 support 1080p in the component?

None. The component input on the Dell 2407 is defective. That goes for all revisions currently in existence. Trust me, I bought the 2407 specifically for using my 360 with it via component. It doesn't work at any resolution. Don't make the same mistake I did.

I have the same problem like all of you and very disapoint with DELL customer services. I bought this monitor for only using HD component 1900 X 1200 but quality of picture is nightmare. How can I update A02 to A03 version - may be it can help me out?

I'm surprised to hear it said that the 2407(A03) doesn't work in component. I use a Pinnacle Showcenter to stream to my TV. When I got the 2407 I downloaded some HDTV clips and movies to play using windows media player via the pc on the DVI cable, just to see how good HDTV is, and the results are stunning.

I then thought I'd use the Showcenter, connect it to the 2407 via component, and see what the results are. Again the picture quality is stunning. The showcenter allows you to select the output and although it doesn't do 1080p, in 1080i and 720p the demo HD material looks just as good through component as does when played on the pc through DVI.

I don't have much HD source material, but the small selection of 720 and 1080 that I have looks the same in component as it does when played on the pc. The one difference being that when played on the pc there is the black bars top and bottom, when streamed using the Showcenter to the component input the picture expands to fill the screen.

I'm very pleased with my 2407 (A03 - Mexico), nobanding, no artifacts when scrolling. My only complaint is that HD looks so good I'm going to have to spend more money to get an HD camera and HDTV for the main house telly.
