I just bought a Wii, and have suddenly realised I need a better scart cable, and the 2 options appear to be the RGB Scart or the component cable. I've been looking for info to find out which is better, but without much luck. Can anyone explain the differences, and ultimately which is best? Bearing in mind I have a old fashioned non-HD, non-widescreen regular TV.
 
Does you TV have a component input?

The RGB cable is a big improvement over the standard AV, and the Component is an improvement on that, so long as your tv is capable of a 480p signal, I think
 
component is better but its unlikely by the sounds of things that you have component connections on your tv. Have a look for a red blue green set of connection on the back of the tv.

RGB scart will be your best bet, it will make a good difference too.
 
Excellent thanks for the info guys. I'm pretty sure that my TV can't have 'component' input, so I've found 2 types of scart leads. I'm not entirely sure what the difference between them is though.

Heres links:

First one:
[link removed: any games site, called Wii RGB Cable]

Second one:
[link removed: any games site, Wii Scart Cable]

Both of them are selling at various sites, and seems to be the only two choices open to me. But why is one more expensive than the other? Whats the difference? They both say they are RGB wired, so I'm stumped as to which one I should get.
Any more advice is appreciated, I'm leaning towards getting the one thats titled "RGB Cable" rather than the regular "Scart cable"

Overclockers dont appear to sell the Wii cables, so how else can i show you guys?

Basically, if you goto a Games website, goto the Wii accessories, then cables section, you'll see one is called a Wii Scart lead, and the other is a Wii RGB cable....Which one seems better?
