Wii HD Component Cable
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.

Wii HD Component Cable Reviews
Its a steal and looks lovely on my tv. A cheap and working alternative to expensive named brand hd component cables. Great Product.
I also agree with other reviewers where they complain that the cable end is "bundled" and difficult to split off is you have the video part going into your TV and you want the audio part to go into your AV receiver. 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 guess I could do a test with the original cable that came with the Wii for I have yet to take that out of the packaging. I don't know if this is true or not.
I had to get some additional cables at Radio Shack in order to make that happen. 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. Regardless, the cable works with my Wii, just not as advertised.
It may also be that I can't tell. I wasn't expecting too much when I found out the Wii itself is limited to 480p. Looks the same to me, some people swear it's sharper, causing the curved objects to have more of a jagged edge, but I don't think that's true. Overall, I would say to get this cable only if you are running short on composite inputs on your TV. I wasn't disappointed.
But, it's kinda flimsy and I had to kind of bend the wires and twist the connectors sometimes to get the right colors to come out on the tv. The difference between component and composite is definitely noticeable on HD screens and this cable does it's job.
It's only 480p but it does sharpen the picture on my hdtv(Samsung ln46a550). I belive it's worth it.
