component output still NTSC or PAL?

[sibir]

I have a Philips 727 and am looking for a wide-screen LCD Monitor with progressive scan component input (preferably HD compatible, at least 720 lines).
My goal is to play PAL DVDs as PAL and NTSC DVDs as NTSC to avoid the conversion issues. Now I am wondering: Do I have to worry that the monitor is advertised to accept both PAL and NTSC or is that a moot point if I use the component video signal?

Any other thoughts, recommendations?

Yes, you do. Composite, S-video, and component only change the ways in which the video image data is carried from device to device (composite, separate Y/C, or separated RGB, respectively). The line count, frame rate, and sync signal timing will be maintained no matter which connection method you use -- PAL will still be 625 lines, 50 fields (25 frames) per second, NTSC will still be 525 lines, 60 fields (30 frames) per second, and your display device will still need to be able to cope with both sets of horizontal and vertical sync timings to be able to play both kinds of video.

I was not worried about the syncing as I assume any LCD monitor nowadays is multisync. And I had 1280*768 WXGA in mind.

Does anybody out there have a WXGA LCD monitor like the Sharp LL-M17W1 ?
