 Does the job August 12, 2008

If you want to have 480p from your Wii to your HDTV/Projector this is the cable. Don't forget to go in the Wii Settings to switch to 480p. There is not a significant improvement if your HDTV/Projector already did signal processing to enhance the quality picture.
HD Cable Review August 12, 2008

Cable is of high quality. Connected it up and it works well. Ends are gold plated. Why pay more for the official Nintendo brand when these do the same job. I would buy them again. Highly recommended.

The only complaint about this product is that you cant plug in the white and red cables into a stereo system. What i've done before is to plug the yellow cable to the T.V. and the others (red and white) into the stereo, which gives you a whole different sound quality than any T.V. could. That said, it's a shame i bought it.
Debatable picture quality improvement August 3, 2008

I always look for the best sound / picture possible out of a source without spending hundreds of dollars to make it perfect. For a reasonable price, I thought I'd try this out with my new Wii as component is always known for being better that composite video...
I've set all the widescreen and progressive scan options in the Wii and the image quality is good. The question, however, is there any improvement over the standard Wii cable included. I'm using a 32" LCD TV, and perhaps with a larger TV you'd see a bigger difference. I've never actually tried the original cable, but I've seen other Wiis with composite, and it's still decent...
If I was giving the component feature of the Wii a review, it would probably be 3 out of 5 starts. But because this review is really to focus on the quality of the cable itself, the Nyko equivalent definitely gets 5 stars. Connectors are gold plated and the wires don't seem skimpy. Definitely a reasonable substitute for the Nintendo branded cable.
 I didn't realize this only upgrades you to 480p from default 480i August 3, 2008

I bought this cable without doing much research so please make sure you know this before purchasing: The only upgrade this cable offers is 480p (over the standard 480i cable that ships with the Wii)! The difference between 480i and 480p is that 480p is progressive scan and 480i is interlaced. This means that all 480 lines of definition are showed at once on 480p. 480i shows you half that amount at any given time so therefore it is called interlaced. In addition component video has less signal loss than composite. This translates to a sharper image with less noise.
With that said, this cable does exactly what it should do and I have no complaints with it's performance. Simply with the fact that you are nearly purchasing the same cable you already have.
