Nintendo Wii Component Video Cable

...who need or want it. Nintendo understand this and have released two video upgrade options - the Wii RGB cable or the Wii Component cable. Lets get things straight from the off, The Nintendo Wii is not a High Definition Console, What this cable does offer is a enhanced image resolution of 480p. I finally got hold of the component video cable after two weeks of looking. Prices certainly differed between retailers but I just wanted it and was willing ...
...have a 42" LG Plasma TV - I plugged in the component cable and the first thing I needed to do was set the video output in the Wii setup menu to 480P. This is something of a let down by the instructions as the box didnt contain any!. The first thing I noticed was the Wii start menu was overly bright - not a great start to be honest, but what about the games? Zelda was transformed by the cable,all of a sudden the game had extra clarity, the brown ...

Review of Nintendo Wii Component Video Cable

...cable you get with the nintendo wii and belive me its not nice running it through your HDTV. The quality you get from this HD cable is excellent it brings out the vibrate colours that you just dont see in your standard cable, games for instance like zelda you really notice the difference and the background looks amazing. The only downfall about this new hd cable is that it only supports 480p which is standard compared too the settings most tv's ...
...playing games where you need too concerntrate more need better picture quality so your acurracy can become better, or if you need too find somthing it might become clearer. This one deffently gets a thumbs up for me although I think Nintendo should of included this with the consol. ...

Review of Nintendo Wii Component Video Cable

The Nintendo Wii component video cable really is a sound investment if you are the owner of an HD/ LCD TV, and obviously a nintendo Wii. Before i bought it, i had trouble with the picture quality and contrast on many of the games. Games such as Wii Sports were fine, but more of the action/adventure games such as Zelda or Splinter Cell give a very dark picture which can sometimes be hard to make out what was happening. The only way i could combat ...
...which did help, but was alot of hassle. With the component cable, the picture is not only much brighter, but much sharper and defined. It gets rid of the hassle of having to turn the contrast back down after playing on the Wii and improves the overall gaming experiance. Another bonus is that on your HD TV, this cable plugs into the HD port on your TV which gives you an extra scart socket to plug in a video/ dvd player etc. It may not seem worth £20 ...

...compared to the standard cable. But if you see a game with EDTV/HDTV you know you will use the full use of the component cable.

I Notice a Large amount of difference when playing Medalof Honor heros 2 The picture was more clearer and had more of a texture. The Only problem I have with this cable ...

Review of Nintendo Wii Component Video Cable

Takes the Wii to the limit of its visual capacity. OK, so the Wii doesn't have the *really* hi-def visuals you would get from a PS3 or X-Box 360, but be honest here, does anyone buy a Wii for the visual experience? Admit it, the Wii is so popular because the motion sensitive control set was not only a great way of targetting non-gamers but also a genuinely innovative attitude from Nintendo, which other manufacturers are finally learning: visuals ...
...The composite cable will upgrade the visual experience of using the Wii - but only to 480p, so it won't stretch the capabilities of HD-capable TVs too far. If you have a large-ish TV (32") it will enhance the picture (and yes, it is worth doing if you can benefit from it, if your TV is smaller then you probably won't get to see much of a benefit from this product. ...

Review of Nintendo Wii Component Video Cable

The Nintendo Wii Component Video Cable allows you to display your Wii games in 480p high definition if you have a HDTV. This is not as good as 720p, 1080i or 1080p that you can get on a PS3 or XBox 360 but it is the best picture quality you can get from your Wii and you will notice the improvement. The cable has 5 pins that plug in to the component inputs on your TV. OR, if you have your speaker system or stereo placed relatively close to your TV ...
