I had Wii running in 480p 16.09 clock without any problems with this cable. I had decided not to buy component cables, as I previously thought that it was not worth spending $ 30 on component cables, if the Wii does not support 720p or 1080i anyway. Well, the difference is not worth that much, but worth the $ 3 I have this third party cable. The image quality has improved dramatically. Its not HD, but with composite cables is 480i @ the difference in comparison with day and night on all HDTVs I have seen, have with this. The main disadvantage is that it really does jump jaggies and other graphical errors, but that will depend on the game that you play. Here are some things to note:
This cable is shorter than the stock cable that came with Wii. The illustrated cable [that one that I] is get 5 feet 6 inches. The stock cable is approximately 8 meters.
-Theres no way to the left and right audio connections from the component video to separate. This is important when you are apart of an audio receiver ylolur TV. Same problem with the first party cable. Buy an extension L / R audio cable, and theres no problem
The packaging says the sentence “1080i/720p HDTV compatible with” everything about them. No its not. Now may be the cable, but the Wii can not output either, so its misleading.
It works. His $ 3. Recommended.

I do not know how they call this premium cable if they are not shielded to double. In addition, the connections are not as fit as snuggly Belkin, which I bought. Of course, I paid five times as much for the premium cable from Belkin. The description claims that the product of an “extremely thick and flexible PVC jacket,” but again, has the jacket is not as thick as half of the Belkin.
On the positive side, make the plug stay plugged in and the picture quality is not in spite of the large double shielded. This is a cheap upgrade from the cables the Wii comes with, and if you have a HDTV component you definitely need cables – have different, is much more noticeable.

I bought this as a gift for a friend with a Wii and an HDTV. The 480p output that allows this cable (and you have to use for this result set within the Wii setup) saw better than the standard output that the 480i OEM manufactures cable enclosed in the box. Some cable snobs think that “to make high-quality” cables have a lifetime of difference, I prefer to save the money for other things.
As others have pointed out, the Wii not produce HDMI signals. . . the best the Wii can do is 480p output on this type of component output cable (analog, digital signal does not). There is another reason why the Wii for less than the other game consoles retailers. That is, the improvement in appearance was worth the modest cost of these lines.

The cables are not covered as a gold-description of the product claims, so I dinged them a star. But as to make them forget the picture look better than the standard cable? I have a 42 “DLP and it is definitely a difference. It is not huge – it will not turn on your Wii in a PS3. But with these cables, I can flip between 480i and 480p and there are some differences in the amount of fringing, especially with text. Are they worth it? Hey, it cost under $ 10 including shipping. If you have a big TV, go for it. Make sure you only go into your Wii settings and change to 480p.

With this cable with my 42 “HDTV the video is completely washed out, everything is close to saturated white, no matter how I adjust the TV. I have used a different component sources with the same TV without such problems. I do not know if this is a problem, wii, or a problem with this cable, but we need the OEM composite cable back in and all is well. returning for the reasonable price for this cable, its not worth sending to her: – /
