Aside from the switch from interlaced to progressive, I didn't notice much difference. Edges were smoothed out a bit, but that was it.

For most games on most TVs these days (including LCD, plasma and DLP) you may not notice any difference going from interlaced to progressive since the display can be identical (always true for 30fps games). Switching to component over composite brings a significant improvement in quality because the three cables are capable of providing a much more accurate signal. For lower end fixed pixel displays that don't have good scaler chips, things may look extra jagged.

Yes, there is a very clear difference.


 I have a Sony XBR4.  It is far from a lower end fixed pixel display. :P

However, I was calibrating my TV quite a bit when I made the switch from Composite to Component, so any major differences I may have assumed were the result of my own calibration.
