Fun:
After initial skepticism that 480p and a cable would really make much difference, I am now a true believer. I play the Wii on my 47" Vizio (1080p capable) and the clarity difference w/ the component cable is truly amazing. My assumption is that it may not make any difference on a tube TV displaying at 480i, but if you have an HDTV, I highly recommend the Wii component cable. Once installed, don't forget to set your Wii to display at 480p...

Fun:
This is a high-quality product must-have Wii product at a low price (3rd party vendor).
Note this is the heavy-duty HD cable version (vs. the slim one). Got this at an excellent price and it does the job. Cable works wonders on my friend's 52" widescreen Samsung. On my Sony 36" tube XBR (6 years old), which is 480P HD-ready, there's some improvement but not huge. Overall, I'm satisfied and can't wait till I upgrade my TV. Note the Wii is only 480P so don't expect those jagged/boxy edges to fall off. Definitely worth it if you have a good HD TV set and can spare the component inputs (vs. coaxial).
*Note some people forget to adjust the Wii settings to output 480P (ETV/Enhanced = "HD, 480P) and widescreen/regular, which may explain why they don't see ANY improvement vs. regular coaxial. You can't just plug it in and expect the Wii settings to auto-detect and change! Meanwhile, some expect a 'true HD' miracle despite the Wii systems' limitations.

I realized about 1 week into using the Wii on my HDTV that something was off. The graphics were blurry and there was Wiimote lag. After some contemplation, I reasoned that both issues were related to the signal being sent to the TV. The blurry graphics? 480i. The delay in response? The HDTV converting the ancient 480i signal into 480p. You see, the Wii ships with last generation RCA connectors (Red, Yellow & White). These work fine on a Standard TV, the 480i signal is its bread and butter. To upgrade to an HDTV-friendly signal you need component cables.
Enter this product: $4 + S&H ($10 total)on Amazon for a cable that costs $25 in the stores. It does exactly what the more expensive product does: sends a 480p signal to your HDTV from the Wii. The difference is rather astounding and immediately noticeable. Wii controller movement is sensed almost instantly, and the graphics are clearer and crisper. These cables unlock the full power of the Wii on your HDTV. For under $10 you can't go wrong.

It works.
Not much to really say here. The increase in picture quality gained by using this is pretty evident after having used the Wii's included component cables for years. Read more

worked for a month, then flickering video
The cable worked fine fro around 3 weeks. Then the video started flickering. Sometime screen was black (no video signal) and sometimes blue/white stripes. Returned the product.

A good replacement for the old cord.
This cord made a little difference but words became clearer. I recommend this if you play games like COD or games that should have better graphics.

Works great and got to love the price.
Just as described and works great! The connections are not tight but tight enough and I believe there may be a slight improvement in the picture quality.
