Editorial Review:
If you're connecting your Nintendo Wii to a progressive scan television, then these component cables are a must have. The Nintendo Wii is capable of two graphic resolutions, 480i for basic TVs, and 480p for progressive scan TVs. The switch to progressive scan gaming on the Wii will result in a marked improvement in overall image quality, and you can only enable 480p on the Wii with a set of Wii Component Cables.

Pleasently Surprised
After reading other reviews I was concerned about the picture quality I would get with the Wii unit even at 480P (having recently purchased a 50" Samsung 1080P plasma TV). It looks pretty good!! The cartoonish games such as Wii sports and Mario Cart look very good...the more life like games are a bit fuzzy but still not too bad. Having never used the cables that came with the unit I cannot comment on how much this cable improved the picture. However, just looking at the difference in cable quality I cannot... more info
Works great
This cable does what it's supposed to. It outputs the Wii signal at 480p to the TV. I have a widescreen LCD and the change is noticeable. But don't expect an amazing change, after all, we know about the limitations the Wii has. If you want to get an HD signal (720p or higher), buy an Xbox or a Ps3. This cable just provides an image that is a bit more clear.
Does what it, says it does
A cheap and working alternative to expensive named brand hd component cables. Its a steal and looks lovely on my tv. Great Product!
Works, but cannot ever get 480p out of it
Cable works with my Wii and my Sony Bravia, but I cannot get anything to come out at 480p, it always displays at 480i. Even though my menu settings in the Wii are for 480p, it just never seems to transmit that...or at least that is what my TV is reporting. I did read some other reviews where other people had this same problem and said it was the cable. I've also read where that somehow the cable tells the Wii that it is capable of carrying 480p and to "unlock" tha feature. I don't know if this is true or... more info
