Not in this day and age.
This looks like a nice product though...I'd definitely buy it in a heartbeat.

Can someone please explaim to me VGA vs HDMI vs Component. I know component cables are pretty good according to most people. Which out of the three is the BEST? What do the letters stand for?

HDMI is the best! High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an all-digital audio/video interface capable of transmitting uncompressed streams. up to 1080p.
Video Graphics Array (VGA) is an analog computer display standard first marketed in 1987 by IBM. It has been technologically outdated in the PC market for some time but in the pocket PC market it is currently becoming the standard. VGA was the most recent graphical standard that the majority of manufacturers conformed to, making it the lowest common denominator that all PC graphics hardware supports before a device-specific driver is loaded into the computer. up to 1080p.
Component video is a video signal that has been split into two or more components. In popular use, it refers to a type of analog video information that is transmitted or stored as three separate signals. Component video can be contrasted with composite video (such as NTSC or PAL) in which all the video information is combined into a single line level signal. Up to 1080i.

I have 2 friends with Vizios. They are astounded with the quality picture they got for the price they paid. Me on the other hand, think they look like shit.

Low contrast ratio causes a washed out image.

That is either never going to be sold, or cost over 6 figures.

That is a spectacular one, and you can probably find it for cheap. That is last year's model and the new ones are already out.
