5 out of 5 stars Cable Works as Advertised   June 29, 2008
There's not a whole lot you can say about a cable. Here's what I have to say about this one:

- It works
- It seems substantial (every cable segment is pretty thick) and well-made.
- I've had no issues with it so far (and really don't expect to have any based on its apparent quality and the fact that it's only a cable).



5 out of 5 stars Wii HD Link Component Cable   June 13, 2008
I recently purchased a Wii System and decided to look for an HD cable to get better video on my HDTV when I used the Wii. Prices for these cables are very expensive and I almost decided to forget it until I ran across this particular cable which was reasonable in price and appeared to have decent ratings from other users. So, I gave it a try.

Basically, it works as advertised. I did not see a lot of difference in using this cable over the component cable that came with the Wii except for games that have some kind of water content - like the golf game that comes with the Wii. With the component cable, the water does not look very realistic - pretty fake in fact. With the HD cable, the water looks like water and gives the game a little more realism. I do not have many games yet for my system so I cannot comment on other game differences with the 2 cables in comparison. My thought is that for $20, I got a cable that improved the graphics (water scenes) enough that I can better enjoy some games that are available with the Wii.

Note that when you replace the component cable that came with the Wii system with this cable, you have to go back into the Wii video options menu and change the screen resolution to take advantage of this cable's better properties.

The cables produced static and hissing in the audio and actually made the picture worse then the cables that came with the Wii (everything has a green hue). Buy at your own risk.


5 out of 5 stars Works great! Highly recommend for large HDTVs   June 5, 2008
I have a brand new 58 inch Samsung Plasma TV and one night I hooked up the Wii for my sister and her friends with the factory supplied cables. Even with the 16:9 setting selected the picture still had the black bars on the sides and the picture was a bit blurry and horrible!

A week later I bought the Wii HD Link Component Cables, put it on the 480P setting, and the picture now fills up the whole screen and the picture is a lot better but not HD quality at all.

These cables work as advertised, very affordable, and I highly recommend them.



3 out of 5 stars The best image your Wii can get   June 2, 2008
Only HD die hard fans should use this cable. You will only go from 480P to 480I resolution on your HD sets. In the overall scheme of things this is a small step forward, but you do go forward. Perhaps Nintendo will revamp this with the next Wii iteration, we know they did it with the DS.
