Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Nintendo Wii Component Cable AV Cable for HDTV/EDTV High Definition 480p
Customer Review: Works the way it should
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a cable. Cables should work. This works. Dont buy the more expensive one, that would be really stupid. Buy the cheapest one possible.
Whenever you buy cables that transmit a digital signal, just get the cheapest one because with digital, you either get the signal or you don't...aka either the cord works or it doesn't. If it does work, it will work perfectly. If it doesn't work, you return it and get a new one. So yeah, get this.
Customer Review: Wii Hi Def 480p AV cable
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought these cables on the chance that they might be as good the hi def cables that I bought at Target for $25 (which really don't make much of a difference anyway in the picture vs. the standard cables that come with the Wii). Big mistake! These cables are junk. They caused a feedback problem in my TV resulting in a "buzz" in the speaker that I could not get rid of. They're poorly insulated with cheap ends. Frankly, I should have know better being that they only cost $6 or so. As the old saying goes ... if it's too good to be true, then it probably isn't.Customer Review: Cable not needed
Summary: 2 Stars
Our new wii (xmas) only has SD resolution and dull colors on our HD giant screen. So I bought this cable. Forget it. No difference. Seriously, 480,,,,P? Anything at 480 is dull! I'm embarrassed that I bought this cable.Customer Review: Cheap Price Bad Quality
Summary: 2 Stars
It's cheap and you get cheap quality. The screen blanks out from time to time when these cables are connected which is very annoying.Customer Review: no improvements that I could see on my 1080i 50" TV
Summary: 3 Stars
well, they only cost about $6 with shipping, so it's not like I lost much (althought at the store I could have returned those overpriced $25+ cables), but I was hopping it would improve the quality of the picture preview (my 10mpix DSLR images look pretty crapy on the Wii) and also looked at the text for news and weather (which is readble but could be sharper). Games I have are blocky so it's hard to tell if there are any improvements
Well I didn't make any difference. I went back and forth between the standard cable and that one. yes, I did enable 480p in the menu.
Either my TV is compensating (50" DLP 1080i I think, definitly 720p) or the cable is that bad it can't get a 3 video signal any better than a single one!
Picture preview is most likely the WII scaling down the image very badly (if you zoom in you can see it gettting pixelated so it's not resampling it, nor is it using a large version to start with) and Text looked the same to me.
Some people saw big improvements, but some of us none. Your mileage may vary.
