HD Pro Component Cable for Wii
HD Pro Component Cable for Wii |
| HD Pro Component Cable for Wii Posted:  By Mycarryingcase Summary: made a small but noticeable improvement for me, and worth the small investment For this to work for you: 1) you need a TV capable of displaying the 480p resolution using component video inputs (three jacks that look like stereo jacks but usually marked blue, green, red). Most LCD and Plasma TVs should be able to do that. Possibly some older high-end sets will. 2) you need to switch the TV input to use the component inputs 3) you need to change the Wii Settings to use 480p after completing 1 and 2. 4) your TV probably has stereo input jacks, which will help avoid a problem discussed below. My Sony Bravia LCD TV meets these requirements, and I care about small details and subtle improvement, so for me paying seven dollars with shipping was definitely worth the modest improvement. If I bought the official Nintendo-made component cable for thirty dollars plus tax, I'm not sure the improvement would be with the money. With this cable, the picture looks slightly more sharp, crisp, vivid, which I like. The ugly "jaggies" are more clearly ugly, as expected. (Jaggies are staircase edges for diagonal lines and circles that are mostly visible in low-resolution graphics where smooth tones / anti-aliasing is not used to hide them.) The Wii already has jaggies with the standard cable, but they are sharper and thus more obvious with the component cable cable. Another change (for me) is that the picture appears a bit brighter. The colors are vivid, as before, and a bit lighter, especially the whites. You could get a similar effect with the standard cable by adjusting your TV's controls, and if you don't like the brightness with the component cable, you could tone it down the same way. |
