Right now my HTPC is connected to my LCD (see above which...) via DSUB/VGA with 1:1 pixel mapping @ 1360x768 (with 3 black pixels on each LCD side) and the picture quality is GREAT! For films and for internet browsing also because the letters are fully defined!

But... I've got a Harman Kardon AVR which as component ins/out (where today I have connected DVD player and XBOX). With this I just set my LCD to component in and all the devices changing is made with the HK AVR remote: I just select DVD and it changes audio and image source, the same for XBOX and I wanted to do the same for the HTPC.
So, I was thinking in using a DVI-Component adapter in order to be able to pass the video signal trough the HK AVR (something like this: http://sewelldirect.com/dvivideoadapter.asp)

Anyone uses this?
Will I have worst / same / better quality than I have now?
Will I loose the 1:1 pixel mapping? (I really don't want to...)

Thanks in advance,
Marco aka Wonderm00n

Will I have worst / same / better quality than I have now?

I guess it will be the same or worse, depending on the quality of the adaptor, as there will be a digital-analogue conversion. I would prefer a vga->component adaptor, if there is something like this.

Will I loose the 1:1 pixel mapping? (I really don't want to...)

You probably will, there will probably be an overscan, but you can compensate this in MP.
