    I have a Samsung 32' slimfit CRT tv thats 1080p compatible, it does not have a hdmi on it, I think the next model had it, I am wondering if I can connect a a high def source to it, I have seen hdmi to component leads, would these do the job? I know I probably won't get close to 1080 but any help would be awesome!
    Correction it's 1080i compatible and the model code is WS-32Z308P
    And it came out of a skip!! Lol great telly!

    I have seen hdmi to component leads, would these do the job?

    There are lots of these leads on Ebay , and even on Amazon through third party sellers , none of them work , they are a con job.

    The items are cheap , if you want to return it because it doesnt work , and it wont because thats impossible , then you have to cover postage and it simply isnt worth it to do so. Thats the business model behind this particular fraud.

    Any good reviews you might see are posted by the seller or someone the seller knows.

    HDMI is all digital , Component is analog , you cannot go from one to the other without some conversion electronics , and these are usually quite expensive.

    One example is the HDfury , which will do the job of converting between HDMI and various analog inputs but costs approx 80 euros and upwards depending on what kind of output you want.

    The component version is 160 Sterling.
