  Got this for my 42″ LCD 1080P HDTV. Works perfect and clears up the images a good deal. Not as sharp as an XBOX, but then again if you play Wii you’rw not getting it for the graphics. Get this item, it’s worth the few bucks. You’ll see about a 30% better picture on your HD set.

  Cables in use for about 30 days with no issues. Looks/works well…Great for the money.

  There is little to no difference between these cables and first (or other third) party cables. The difference in picture quality upon upgrading to a component cable from a standard AV cable is outstanding.

  If you have an HDTV and a Wii, buy one. Now.

  I bought this as a gift for a friend with a Wii and a HDTV. The 480p output that this cable enables (and you have to select this output setting inside the Wii setup screens) looked better than the standard 480i output that the OEM cable enclosed in the box produces. Some cable snobs think that “high-quality” cables will make a lifetime of difference, I prefer to save the money for other things.

  As others have pointed out, the Wii does not produce HDMI signals… the best the Wii can do is 480p output over these sorts of component-output cables (an analog, not digital signal). It’s yet another reason that the Wii can retail for less than the other game consoles. That said, the improvement in appearance was well worth the modest cost of these cables.

  This cable is cheap, and made a noticeable difference in visuals for my Wii. I’ve compared this with the regular composite cable (the one that comes with the Wii) on a 29″ CRT and 32″ LCD tv and these make the contrast, colors, and edges more defined and vibrant. For the price and visual boost, I don’t think it gets any better. If you’re in the market for Wii component cables, buy this one.

  This product works well and is inexpensive. I didn’t have a problem with the original 480i connection and honestly don’t see a big difference, but I didn’t spend time making a direct comparison. I bought a new TV and needed this type of setup.

  “All you need is 480p vs 480i. These cables do just that, and you won’t get High Def out of Wii no matter what cables you use.”

  Again a must have accessory for a Wii owner. This cable improves picture quality from Wii to your HDTV. This works better than the RCA cable that comes along with the Wii package.

  Had my doubt before, but once i had in hand to test the difference between the two even though you only get 480p , and for only a fraction of the cost from all the other stores. its well worth buying it on line. just beware of the one that charges $3 and shipping and handling is $12 – 20 .. the cable should only come to $6-8 combined w/ shipping and handling.. being a bargain hunter, just do some research on the cheapest cable cost combine with the cheapest shipping.. than you have your best bargain.. pretty much all cable is the same, and you wouldn’t be able to see a difference between one from nintendo vs. one from a 3rd party.. except your wallet which probably cost an additional $30-50 depending on where your getting..

  These are just as good as other cables for a fraction of the price. They are gold plated and fit snugly. What else could you ask for?
