Older gen PS2's can't deinterlace DVDs, but newer ones can. I forgot the model number where they introduced the functionality. I wouldn't recommend getting just any DVD player with progressive scan functionality. At least get a GOOD one, like the Oppo DV971H or the DV-970HD.
Anyway, if your TV is indeed an LCD, you definitely want component cables or better for everything. Skills pretty much listed every benefit already, but be sure to enable progressive scan in every game possible (Some don't have it in the menu options, so you must hold triangle and X when starting the game to access the progressive scan controls.)
As for HD programming, you might want to find out if your TV has an internal HD tuner. If it does, all you need is a decent antenna to get normal broadcast HDTV. I'm pretty sure you have to go through your cable company to get an HD cable box, but I'm sure that's more reliable than simple over-the-air signals.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
