these cable be great ! if you have a hdtv or just a tv with component input , these cable be a necessity for better picture . I have both a CRT style tv with component input and a 1080p hdtv . both tv 's have more vibrant color and better picture when use the component cable . Make sure that you hdtv support 480p if you want the Wii to display in that resolution . do not try to enable 480p in the wii setting if your tv will not display that resolution . for those not notice a difference compare to the include composite cable this can be atttribute to 2 thing : 1 . you have forget to enable 480p in the Wii setting 2 . you hdtv do not display 480p as well as it be native resolution like 1080i\/1080p . not all hdtv 's be build the same . \*\*\* very important for 480p output \*\*\* - please note that you tv must be a high-definition tv -lrb- hdtv -rrb- or enhanced-definition tv -lrb- edtv -rrb- to view 480p output . - you will also be require to change you Wii setting from standard tv -lrb- 480us -rrb- to edtv\/hdtv to view 480p . \*\*\* very important for 480p output \*\*\* Super Mario Galaxy look even more incredible with these cable !! awesome . thanks Amazon for the great price ! thanks Nintendo for another fantastic product !
