If you don't have your existing player hooked up via component, then you should get an improvement from it over S-video or composite if you change to component. Since you're talking about a component connection with the Oppo, I'd start with a component connection with your current player and see how you feel about that first before considering the Oppo.

The Oppo may make an improvement due to one or both of 2 things. The Oppo may provide a better picture than your existing player and/or it may upscale better than your TV. The only way to find out if it does one or both of those things is to try it, both with the Oppo doing the upscaling and the TV doing the upscaling. If the picture you get with either of those options is better than you're currently getting with your existing DVD player, then the Oppo is an improvement. The chances of the Oppo being an improvement depend on the age and quality of your existing player.
