Video Game Reviews of Official Wii Component Video Cable
Customer Review: Works great for my WII
Summary: 5 Stars
I was very disappointed the the nintendo wii does not come standard with any kind of hd tv connections when it was even the 2009 edition wii that I bought. so this one was the most reccomended as others had complaints that they may not work the best. But this hd cable works great on my hd tv. i still wish the wii had an hdmi cable connection like the PS3 and Xbox 360. but these cables have to do when the nintendo wii only has a max resolution of 480p instead of the PS 3 and xbox 360's full HD 1080p that there hdmi cable is used for.Customer Review: decieving cables you'd think 720 1080 but no
Summary: 2 Stars
The Wii still only pops out 480p with these cables. No big deal to have them or not, unless your out of composite inputs.Customer Review: The cables worked well, quick shipping, Thank you!
Summary: 4 Stars
The cables added some crispness to the image and having the Nintendo certificate of approval helps me with peace of mind. Recommended for Wii players on an HDTV setup. Customer Review: Too good for its good.
Summary: 3 Stars
I have a top of the line 50 inch Samsung HDTV.
I change the setting on the Wii so it would work on my HDTV.
The problem is its too sharp so edges appear jagged.
So I changed the setting back and leave the cables connected in case I get any Wii games that will take advantage of the HDTV.
Customer Review: Definitely an Improvement
Summary: 4 Stars
While Nintendo has yet to make the leap into the modern HD market, they are at least taking steps in the right direction. The cable performs well and there is a notable increase in clarity and sharpness of image. However, I myself had a bit of an ordeal in the set-up and use of this product. The problem was that you have to manually switch from 480i to 480p in the Wii menu; the console will not automatically switch from one to the other if you simply change the cord. The problem with this is you can't make the switch while still using the composite cable, you have to be using the component. As such, if you have to switch it manually... when you boot up the console while using the the component cable for the first time, there is no image on the screen. I found myself switching back and forth between cables trying to memorized the process to make the manual switch, no easy task I assure you, especially with motion sensitive controls. After roughly 20 minutes of blind pointing and clicking, I finally managed to make the switch. As previously stated, the difference is clearly noticeable. Hopefully I'm one of few who have had this problem, and I wouldn't be surprised to learn that there was an obvious detour that I somehow managed to overlook. On the other hand... quite a design flaw if that happens to be the case for all.
