Can't it do 1080p through the component cables? The actual image quality may not be as good as HDMI, but should be capable of that resolution. I have mine set at 1080i, but that's because I only have that and 480p available on my old TV.

Can you not just buy a cheap hdmi switch box? I use one for my Wii U and Xbox 360.

It's usually limited to 720p or 1080i through component... I would assume the Wii U is the same....

Apperantly Component can do 1080p, but for some reason most HDTV's based on what i read automatically limmit it to 1080i for some odd of reason.
