How much difference does the component cable for wii make?

Ive just bought a wii, and forgot how consoles look non HD

Does the component lead for the wii make the picture a lot sharper or is it not really worth having?

Looks a fair difference to me.

 

[Kreeeee]

A lot.

That's a much bigger difference than I would've imagined!

Wow thats a mahusive difference!

Need to get me a component cable - which ones the best? Im guessing the nintendo original one?

Makes a massive difference; had to survive on composite when I got a Wii at UK launch and component cables were nowhere to be seen. The component cable brings out the detail.

Yes, definately get the Nintendo one. I did a comparison between the official one and the Snakebyte Componenet cable which is well thought of. The Nintendo lead displayed a more 'neutral' colour (there was a blue sheen to the Snakebyte cable) and wasn't as blurred as the Snakebyte cable.

Makes it a lot sharper, but my god the jaggies are horrible.

If you want to play most of the classic Sega games on the Wii, the component cable is NOT supported.

It used to work, but a recent software update has caused the video output to stop working for the older games like Sonic etc.

Still for new Wiii games it really helps

It helps a great deal but a lot of games still look terrible on large LCDs.

I don't see a massive improvement in the little comparison on gamespot.

I guess it helps take the TV deinterlacing out

For me; enough to warrant the price. It still looks pap though, just less pap, semi-pap if you will.
