Cheap Wii Component Cable
Probably won't find one much cheaper than this. Even if the improvement is small, I think it's worth $7.50 shipped:

FWIW, that's the cable we use and it works outstanding (I paid $9.95 delivered which was still a bargain).
We buy a decent amount of blank media from Meritline, and have always been happy with the customer service.

lol I bet you do that thing is a rip off.
I got a random 3rd party one for like $10 somewhere. . . unfortunately later I found out my TV doesn't support 480p. . . fortunately it still makes the colors look more vivid and differentiated so thats good.

Well, I certainly don't feel as stupid as the guy that bought a 480p cable for his TV which doesn't support 480p.

I have the Monoprice one. Works great. I think I got the white one though, just for the hell of it.

evidently no1 here knows anything about setting up tvs. component cales do look better even on a sd tv. you will have the brightness and colors seperate and will def look better. not 480p but component is always the best on a sdtv.

Oh really? I invite you to read my posts about this in this and other threads.
I might have a little experience here.

No, sremick, the guy who abbreviates the phrase "no one" is undoubtedly an electrical genius.
