Rating: - great for HDTV's
if you have an HDTV, i would recommend to get one of these cables. for the dirt cheap price of about $7, these work amazingly well and make the wii noticeably clearer and brighter. dont forget to switch it to the 480P resolution in the wii options!
Rating: - Not much difference noticed
I have a 50" Phillips plasma and I did not notice much difference. I was expecting to see a difference after changing over the resolution and did not see much. However for the price I would do it again...
Rating: - Mine was bad.
Most of these cables might work fine but the one I got was bad. The Red channel wire didn't work. I don't know if I was just unlucky or they have poor quality control and a lot of them are bad. I didn't want to wait around for another one to be shipped so I went to the store and had to pay $24.95. At least it was this nice Monster Cable one. Monster GameLink Component video and stereo audio cable for Nintendo Wii Oh and FYI I saw a bunch of reviews talking about this being a digital cable. Component inputs are analog not digital. This cable will not give you HD i.e. 720P, 1080I/P but it will give you ED i.e. 480P compared to the standard 480I which is still an improvement in resolution and you should see an improvement in general picture quality because you don't have all the picture information being crammed together on one wire.
Rating: - Makes the connection as good as it can be
The cables are a good item for the price. The Wii only outputs in 480p maximum, so if you're expecting true realism, you aren't going to get it regardless of the cables. It did seem to make Legend of Zelda have more detail which is what I was after. For $7 (with S/H) it's worth the money. I wouldn't spend the money though if I had to pay the $30 that Nintendo was wanting for their's.
Rating: - Great improvement
my buddy and I own the same 47" 1080 HDTV -- he has his Wii hooked up with analog, and I i splurged the $4 for the component cables. WELL WORTH IT. They make a significant difference in the animation quality. While Wii only outputs 480, you get the best possible picture out of it with this cable. for the price it's a no brainer... you will be satisfied. and if for some reason you're a hater and aren't satified, well... it's less than the price of a starbucks... and it sounds like you should probably skip the coffee anyway.
