A digital comb filter is a pre-processing device used to enhance a television's picture quality. 3 line, I believe, is a technology pioneered by Sony about 3-4 years ago, and is still used. There's also 3D digital comb filter technology, which is said to be better, but I doubt there's much of a tangible difference (more likely it's a format war).
VMS, also by Sony, is another processor which is used to sharpen the edges of objects on the screen, giving the picture the illusion of better resolution. I never understood why they didn't just invest that R&D money into making a processor that eliminated dot crawl throughout the picture, but then again, I guess that's why I'm not a bigwig Sony exec.
Finally, as noted above, component video will provide a better piture on a high definition monitor than s-video.
Hope this helps.
