Just a few days ago I picked up my first DVD player. An entry level Panasonic.

It lacks progressive scan and other cool functions like DVD-RAM, DVD Audio and is a pretty bare bones player.
It's complete list of features can be seen here.

The other model I was looking at was a Hitachi player that had a real cool retro look and it supported progressive scan.
My first question is, does a progressive scan player provide a better picture on a regular analog television? Will the picture look sharper, more colorful compared to the Panasonic's video output?
And finally I was wondering about the s-video cable I bought. I own a Samsung 27" television with an s-video input. I purchased a crazy expensive s-video cable from acoustic research, it's called the "Master Series."

99.99% pure oxygen-free copper center conductor delivers optimum high-frequency signal transfer.
Locking, precision-machined RCA connectors with 24k gold-plated split center pins for superior fit and signal transfer.It talks about noise reduction and stuff ike that. At my level in the game would that even apply to me? Would a cheaper cable suffice?
Thanks for all the help, it's much appreciated!
