In a word, no. Your TV, unless a complete freak of technology and price points, is only capable of showing an interlaced picture. It's very odd that it has those inputs, but I don't think that it is going to benefit from them that much. Then again the other input connections may not work as well as the component ins...

If you want to test those inputs, I'd pick up some cables from a place that has a liberal return policy (read that as being no restocking fee) and check them out. Test them against a decent S-video cable. They might have an advantage over an S-cable (separation of the colors vs. separation of chroma and luminance) and you may like the appearance better; however, it won't be the difference between interlace and progressive scan.
