Does what ya want....August 15, 2008 I really like the high def with this cable! Unfortunately, I used to be able to route cables separately to the TV and audio system. These cables don't allow that anymore. So the Wii doesnt get the surround sound system anymore, but everything else does still.
No biggie. I'm happy! I bought it for the visual improvements, and that it does.
Does the jobAugust 12, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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 ReviewAugust 12, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
HD LinkAugust 5, 2008 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
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 improvementAugust 3, 2008 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
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.
