Well if you have a non progressive scan tv, you won't have inputs for component cables, so yes, it would be a waste of money buying component cables.

At home I have a 27inch JVC D-Series CRT Tube TV. It has component input but does not do progressive scan.
Component does not automatically mean Progressive scan, sorry to bust your bubble.
Color and clairty should improve, but it would still be 480i.
That TV is for sale if anybody wants it! LOL |

What is a component cable? Do I need it to play in 480p? I thought Wii automatically supports 480p?  |
