Original Lumagen Vision to Panny TH50PZ70B

[Dave Gray]

Hi Guys,
Just ordered a Panasonic TH50PZ70B 1080p plasma and need a little bit of help with integrating the Lumagen Vision(original).
Currently I have my Arcam DV88+ DVD player going into the Lumagen via component and to my 42PH9 via VGA lead to the PC input, I've got the Vision set at 768@50Hz.
I understand the TH50PZ70B wont take 1080 through the PC input, only up to 1366x768@60Hz.
Should I use a VGA to component cable to connect to the component inputs on the TH50PZ70B to the Lumagen to send a 1080 signal?
Does anyone know what resolution to set the Lumagen at?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Interesting dilemma. I'd say try both....768 to pc and 1080p to component. As I've never tried this I can't say which will be best.

Thanks Gordon!
I think the TH50PZ70B only supports 1080p over the HDMI ports, the component port supports up to 1080i (according to the manual!).
Am I right in thinking that if I feed a 1080i signal from the Lumagen into the component sockets via a VGA to component cable, then the screen itself will progressivly scan the signal? I want the Lumagen to perform the film mode deinterlacing as apparantly the screen can't do this.
God this gets complicated!
