- HD Link for Wii
I got this for the kids not so much for the "Wii Games" but instead for them to watch "Netflix-through-Wii". It actually raises the clarity enough that it is quite noticeable on a 42" screen. Remember to go into the Wii setup and choose the higher resolution output or you won't notice any difference. - Save Some Money, Enjoy a Better Picture
This is a great addition if you have a Wii hooked up to a television with component video inputs. And it's half the price of what you would pay for a similar cable at retail stores.
What really impressed me was how the cable is constructed. Most of the cable is a single thicker cable, and only the end that hooks on to the TV is broken out into the separate video and audio hookups. So you don't have 5 separately wrapped wires running all the way from the Wii to the back of the television. Makes for a neat, organized installation.
If you want to hook up your Wii via component video, this is the way to go. - No big difference on 32" 720p Bravia
I just upgraded to a 32" 720p Bravia and decided to upgrade my Wii to component video from the composite video. However, I have failed to see any noticeable difference in quality by switching to component video (I doubt if it has anything to do with this cable particularly). Please note that I have indeed changed my Wii settings to progressive, so it is not due to my ignorance that I don't see a difference in quality. I just think that if one is using 480 then either interlaced or progressive appears almost the same and so it does not perhaps make much sense to change to this cable. I decided not to return this cable though since I think it would have cost me the shipping and so no point on saving just a few bucks.
As for this specific cable, I think that the quality is fine and I did not find any thing wrong with the cable itself per se. Therfore, if you indeed want to go down the component video road, I think it does not make much sense to use a more expensive cable from Nintendo itself. - Perfect
This cable do the perfect job !
My Wii is a PAL version, and I use this cable to plug it on a NTSC TV, and the quality is better with this cable as the regular one. - Perfect!
Well I hooked up my son's Wii at his grandparents' house, but had one problem, they were using all the normal av cable slots, so I had to unhook their DVD player just to play the Wii every time. I ordered these because they used component slots which were not in use. So problem solved. However additionally they are better quality cables with a higher refresh rate which is great. Super easy.
