HTPC to Front Projector via RGB Connector

I would like to watch movies through my HTPC connected by the RGB monitor out to RGB in on a Front Projector...

Anyone done this ?

Is the picture quality as good as component in from a stand-alone DVD player ?

simplicity is genius...

Depends on the projector but mostly, yes it will be as good if not even better than component.

In my case it made no difference over my stand alone no-progressive dvd player. I was hoping for an improvement via upping the resolution with powerstrip and a software player. No luck. Either my projectors line doubler is a heck of a good one or i was not using my setup properly. I could never tell for sure if the picture was actual higher resolution or not.
Thats been my experience withte htpc hype. A dud.

I'm using a mitsubishi xd200 which has the faroudja dcdi line doubler. Maybe i'll have to buy a high dollar progressive scan player to actualy see an improvemnt.
