PS2 component cables

I recently got an HDTV, and was excited to play my PS2 on it. But when I set it up, the graphics looked worse than on my old TV. So I am considering getting component cables to display in progressive scan. Does this improve the picture quality enough to make PS2 games look better than on an SDTV? (and also perhaps remove the fuzzy almost double edges that I notice in Gran Turismo 4 and FFX)

i would also like to know

thanks in advance

thanks for the info bearrie

gonna be getting some import games soon with ps2 to play on a 50 hdYa
