I'm getting my parents their first DVD player, and they have a basic $450 current model Panasonic 32" TV with 'S-video' and 'component' inputs. Would hooking up this DVD player using 'component' input be visually noticeable over an 'S-video' connection? I would imagine not, since this is not a high-end TV. What do you think?
Follow Ups:
Have a $599 Toshiba 32af53 and a Pioneer DVD. When I moved from s-video to component the difference was immediately visible to my son and me. It was not really subtle. I was surprised.
The component conection over S-Video makes the images much less foggy. Colors are more defined and images are crispier, especially if you use good cabling. Try monster THX Ultra component or audioquest VDM-1.

While there IS a difference in quality between the component and S-video hookup on larger sets the improvement will probably be minimal at best on a 32" model,particularily on set that you're talking about.I purchased a pretty good Panasonic 27" for my mom last X-mas and I also bought her an $80 Toshiba DVD player last summer. I already knew that there's very little difference between the S-video and component video hookup on this screen size so my main concern was an S-video hookup when buying the TV. There's a much bigger jump in quality between composite and S-video than between S-video and component. I would always go with a component hookup on large TV's but I think it's a little overkill in the smaller sets.
Try both and see.
