  The biggest difference I noticed when using this component cable is the difference in clarity and texture quality. It makes a noticable difference. The component picture shows much better definition as well a more vivid color. Well worth the $20!

  This cable performs just as well as the other more expensive options, save your money and buy this cable for your HD TV. The Wii detects this cable and you can then change the display type to HD in the Wii setup menu.
  
  The extra long length allows you to place your Wii nearly anywhere.

  I love the quick shipping from amazon.

  buy this cable now!

  I’ve seen a noticeable difference in games on my 30″ directview HDTV. Also, the Virtual Console games work fine with this–I saw a review stating that they didn’t, but I’m not sure why they wouldn’t to begin with. Everything about this cable is fine for me. As others have said, the cables split about 1 foot from the end, so if you want to plug the audio into your stereo but your video into the TV, you will need an extension for the left/right RCA ends.

  These component cables give a great picture and appear to be of adequate build quality. There is plenty of length to route them to your receiver, although I would have preferred more length separating the audio and video dongles.

  I ordered this a day after I got my Wii, and it works very well. The video quality is better upon an quick inspection. Some reviews said they couldn’t tell the different, but I could tell it pretty easily.

  The price is great, and the cable is plenty long (too long for my entertainment center, almost!).

  I can’t speak to playing the downloaded older games as some other reviews have since I’ve yet to do this. I can’t see why the classic games wouldn’t work through this cable as one reviewer claims. That just defies the physics of the thing!

  Anyway, great product. I’m glad I bought it. I’ve always been happy with all of my mad cats products.

  Can’t be beat for the price. Seems like a quality cable and gave a nice improvement over the original cables.

  Wow – the image quality greatly improved through the use of this cable. I plugged in the cable, set the output of the Wii to 480p, and was impressed with the results. Images were crisper and there was a noticeable increase in color range.

  I have the Wii hooked up to a large (52″) HD, LCD projection TV and was not very happy with the original image. Shadows lost details and images had a blur to them. Switching from the included cable to this cable really seemed to improve things. Others noticed it too. I know others have mentioned about banding, I haven’t noticed any of this. Highly recommend.

  These really improved the picture quality on my 37″ LCD TV. I did not notice as big as a difference on a normal Tube TV. Overall these cables work great and I would reccommend them.

  I was a little hesitant buying these because of a few of the bad reviews, but to my surprise, they work fine.

  *If you’re thinking of buying cables, go ahead and save yourself 10 bux and get these, they work fine.

  *If you’re wondering what the difference in picture quality is, I’d say it’s slightly noticeable. It does make a little bit of a difference on a game like Zelda, but on the more cartoony games it doesn’t. (Gamespot did a comparison of component vs composite)

  Is it worth it? – If you have $20 to blow, and you’re going to keep your console for a few years, I guess it’s worth it, but if $20 means a lot to you, I’d say the cables don’t make that much of a difference.

  I bought this A/V cable 2 months before I could find a Wii at retail price! I am very pleased with the quality of the cable and the image quality it produces. I would never know it is not an OEM product, as it looks and feels superior to most OEM products. The price was half what Nintendo was asking for their component video cable. The Wii looks great at 480p and 16×9 on our DLP set.
