Wii HDTV Component Cable -- Worth getting?

[KingKory]

Hello

I'm sure this question has been kicked around a few times, but there's no search feature that I can see, so I thought I'd just start a new thread.

Are these cables worth buying?

I see them priced from $20 all the way to $50. Is there a big difference on the quality of cable you buy?

Does anyone have a link to recommended cables?

Thanks much!

Yes they are worth buying in my opinion. They make the image so much sharper, and if you have a nice TV it really enhances the color. By the way there is a search feature on the right side of the forums right under the User Control Panel.

Bah...right in front of my face, ty.

 

[Sillyhat]

Here's the cables I have:

no name brand from this website: http://www.ledshoppe.com/Product/ts/TS3003.htm
they're 15 bucks, free shipping, excellent quality (better than nintendo's crap cables)

AND here's some shots off my 58" plasma with the cables hooked up and all settings correct:
PLEASE NOTE: these pictures do not do justice to what it really looks like.

I have a 27inch standard def tv with component but that's being taken by the dvd player and im not getting adapters or switching or any of that.

in short.

should I stay composite, or should I step up to svideo?

 

[ThrillSeeker]

Svideo isn't that great of a difference, don't waste your money. On your tv you won't be able to tell.

Svideo is a great improvement over composite. Don't take my word for it though, the wikipedia article on svideo explains it well. Here is the specific section to read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svideo#Overview

Svideo is nearly equal to interlaced component in regards to picture sharpness
Thrillseeker needs new glasses.

I got a noname set at circuit shitty for $20 and they make a noticable difference to me on a 42" plasma on every game.
