Official Wii Component Video Cable Reviews
This makes running video to your TV and audio below to a receiver impossible w/o having to buy coax audio extender cables. Just plain dumb. The standard cords that come w/the Wii allow you to split the wires as much as needed. Works fine, except you can't spread out the audio cables from the video cables by more than about 6-8".
This product works as it should and I have not had any problems with it yet. I wouldn't use my Wii without this. The image quality in 480p is crisp and clear. If you own a television capable of 480p, you owe it to yourself to pick these up.
no need to get the official cable), any Wii component cable will do. You don't need to get an expensive cable (e.g. Highly recommended. Do remember that you have to manually switch the resolution of the Wii to 480p, otherwise you won't notice any difference. With the component cable I get a crisp, vivid image as opposed to blurry and washed out with the standard RCA cable. I have a 37 LCD TV and what a difference.
It makes a small difference which I appreciated but it certainly isn't a must buy. These allow you to bump up the resolution of the Wii a little which is nice.
As a side note, the plugs didn't seem too snug or loose when I plugged them in and they are nicely sized - even if your inputs are crammed close together you won't have a problem fitting these in there. This official cable definately had a better picture quality and while the difference wasn't amazing, it was noticeable and to me, worth the extra price. I know I'm paying for the Nintendo name and the "official" seal, which I am always happy to do with Nintendo products, but I think $30 is a little steep. I decided to purchase the official cable after trying a cheaper $10 cable that, while it worked fine, didn't provide the best picture quality (that's what I get for not buying first-party to begin with). I will not be hooking this up to my speaker system until August, so the length of the audio cables has not yet been a problem for me. In short, these work great and I am much happier with the way my Wii looks now on an HDTV. I have a budget LCD, so the difference betweent the lower- and higher- quality cables might be more noticeable. While I'm happy with these cables, I took one star off for the price.
