These are the Green, Blue and Red video connectors on the TV and DVD player, you will still have to hook up the Red and White Audio connectors to get sound, with HDMI that's built in.

For the absolute best picture a Bluray player is the ticket.
It is another big jump from standard DVD.
+1 -- HDMI (if your DVD has it) or component will be much better than NTSC RF.

Your VCR probably only has NTSC composite, or maybe S-video, which would be a slight improvement (and only if your TV has S-video in).
