  Yes, it’s 480p. So what?

  When I played Zelda pre-component cable, it looked good. There’s no point here in comparing to the XBOX 360 or PS3, because they aren’t TRYING to do HD…

  However, when I put the component cables on, I noted an immediate improvement in the detailing of the game. It’s not true HD, but it definately improves what you see when you are on a HD TV. I would recommend this to anyone.

  Fantastic Value. Does exactly what it should. The plastic/rubber of the cables is slightly sticky feeling which is mildly annoying as I need to switch this with my DVD cables relatively often but there is no cheaper way to get component from the Wii.

  It works as described and is much cheaper than the one from Nintendo. The picture looks fantastic on my HDTV now that it is properly connected. I would definitely recommend this option if you want to save money.

  delivered in a timely fashion, this cable provides a noticeable difference over the composite cable that comes standard with the wii. I can’t see where paying any more for a cable will make any more difference. the Wii is in a noisy environment and there is no signal degradation with this cable.

  Why pay $20-$30 for the same cable? This cable works just as well; I had an expensive cable and then bought this one. The results: same high quality picture and sound. The other cable went back to the store and I saved over $20.

  I’ve got a 46″ Samsung LCD with LED Backlight technology. This Component cable does improve the picture quality a little bit, enough to make this product worth the money. Haven’t had any noticable “bad” changes with audio or video.

  I love cheap cables. They tend to work just as well as expensive ones, at just a fraction of the price. This product made my Wii games (and photo/video browsing from an SD card) look much better for just a few bucks.

  This is the best deal out there for a quality component cable for your wii. I bought this for my Panasonic plasma and it looks beautiful. Don’t get duped into spending 10 times as much at stores. I was also impressed at how thick the cable felt. Honestly when I ordered it I expected something cheaply made that would just get the job done. I was pleasantly surprised of the quality.

  I recently upgraded my TV to an HDTV and was extremely disappointed in the quality of the picture of the Nintendo Wii coming in via the standard RCA composite cables- Because an HDTV is essentially progressive technology, a composite SD signal is de-interlaced by the TV. This basically means that half the resolution (which is analog SD to begin with) is removed from the picture and it is up to the TV to “rebuild” the bits of missing picture… which it’s not so great at.

  The result is a softened picture with spots of bad (unsmooth) motion and additionally, this process takes a bit of time so there is a hair of a delay… this isn’t a problem for most video, but since it’s a video game system, you need the responsiveness of your actions to be immediately reflected on screen! Playing a game with a delay in the picture feels like fixing a watch with gardening gloves on.

  The component cable sends a Progressive image that, while still Standard Definition, doesn’t require the de-interlace process, which makes a TON of difference. Colors are more vibrant, the image is crisper and the delay is gone completely! Motion is smooth and precise. This cable is usually found for more then $30 or $40, but I was able to find it on Amazon via a 3rd party vendor for less then $5 (plus shipping) – a great deal.

  Get this if you have a Wii and an HDTV… you NEED it.

  This is a cable. Cables should work. This works. Dont buy the more expensive one, that would be really stupid. Buy the cheapest one possible.

  Whenever you buy cables that transmit a digital signal, just get the cheapest one because with digital, you either get the signal or you don’t…aka either the cord works or it doesn’t. If it does work, it will work perfectly. If it doesn’t work, you return it and get a new one. So yeah, get this.
