Component "the biggest improvement"

Yes, component is better than s-video but, IMO, is not the big jump you get from composite to S-video.
By all means zero in on a unit that has component input BUT do not that influence you too much. DVD players vary quite a lot so no set can improve on what comes out of that player. Similarly, video cabling can make a difference. Finally, the electronics in the set vary, particularly in processing the complex video signal. And bigger is not necessarily better. It depends how well it is implemented. Too big and the scan lines become distracting without effective line multipication + bigger magnifies deficiencies in the signal, particularly broadcast material but sadly, also in some carelessly engineered DVDs.
