Hi Guys,

I have heard a lot of talk about the component cable and the Wii, I don't have a Wii yet but hope to have one in the coming week, can anyone ho has a Wii and a Component cable confirm if the picture is a lot better with than with the composite, I know in theory it should be but are there any direct comparisons?
Cheers

Ok, finally had a chance to check out the link and not really seeing that much of a difference in the 2, maybe i missed it but did they mention if they were playing on a CRT/TFT/LCD/Plasma TV/Monitor?

I will be running it on a 37" HDTV so I plan on getting one of these cables anyway just so i can see for myself

Off topic - my Wii will be arriving on Monday but its an xmas gift from the wife so wont be able to play it for a week!! torture!! :eek:

I know what you're gonna be going through... had my son's since the 8th but my missus said there'd be no more hanky-spanky if she caught me playing it before xmas. Managed to test it out for a few mins to make sure it wasn't bust, but that's all I got.

lol why do women do this to us!! the wife has already told me that SHE will be testing it to make sure its working when i'm not there, so i don't even get a chance to see it in action till the day :rolleyes:

I finally got my hands on a component cable and i have to say i am very impressed!

Zelda looks far better than it did on compsite, the text when you are talking is so much clearer, Wii sports is a lot better too, the colours seem to be more vibrant and everything seems so much clearer too, same for the Wii menu, all the text is readable!!!

I can probably get it looking a better when i have a fiddle with my tv setting but so far really pleased with the results!
