Yes, it's 480p. So what?

When I played Zelda pre-component cable, it looked good. There's no point here in comparing to the XBOX 360 or PS3, because they aren't TRYING to do HD...

However, when I put the component cables on, I noted an immediate improvement in the detailing of the game. It's not true HD, but it definately improves what you see when you are on a HD TV. I would recommend this to anyone.

Fantastic Value. Does exactly what it should. The plastic/rubber of the cables is slightly sticky feeling which is mildly annoying as I need to switch this with my DVD cables relatively often but there is no cheaper way to get component from the Wii.

This review is from: Nintendo Wii Component Cable AV Cable for HDTV/EDTV High Definition 480p (Video Game)

I recently upgraded my TV to an HDTV and was extremely disappointed in the quality of the picture of the Nintendo Wii coming in via the standard RCA composite cables- Because an HDTV is essentially progressive technology, a composite SD signal is de-interlaced by the TV. This basically means that half the resolution (which is analog SD to begin with) is removed from the picture and it is up to the TV to "rebuild" the bits of missing picture... which it's not so great at.

The result is a softened picture with spots of bad (unsmooth) motion and additionally, this process takes a bit of time so there is a hair of a delay... this isn't a problem for most video, but since it's a video game system, you need the responsiveness of your actions to be immediately reflected on screen! Playing a game with a delay in the picture feels like fixing a watch with gardening gloves on.

The component cable sends a Progressive image that, while still Standard Definition, doesn't require the de-interlace process, which makes a TON of difference. Colors are more vibrant, the image is crisper and the delay is gone completely! Motion is smooth and precise. This cable is usually found for more then $30 or $40, but I was able to find it on Amazon via a 3rd party vendor for less then $5 (plus shipping) - a great deal.

Get this if you have a Wii and an HDTV... you NEED it.
