 Don't know if I like this March 7, 2010
PB 4 LIFE (UT)
Purchased this item for my wii hoping that it would strengthen the graphics on my 50 inch tv and minimize any system lag. The link did its job in taking away the blurry lines at the end of images. However, in its place it left very boxy pixelations. I feel like I am playing super nintendo again. I think I would prefer the blurriness because at least I couldn't notice how poor the game resolution was. I'm going to keep using this product, however it didn't quite meet my expectations.
 Keep your original Nintendo cable that came with the Wii March 2, 2010

I purchased this from Amazon to try and upgrade my picture quality on a new hi-def 60" tv. The Wii does NOT output in hi-definition, it is just standard, so on a huge tv like our new one, the picture didn't look as sharp as it did on our old 25" crt.
Theres no hdmi support or upconverting the picture to nearly hi-def, so the best I could find, it seemed, were these cables, supposedly one-up over the standard AV cables we got with our Wii.
We received them quickly with Amazon Prime, however there was no noticable improvement over picture quality. I don't like returning goods so I thought maybe they are better, but not so...
I noticed the Wii controllers were not performing properly (we have 4), especially on the shooting games (House of the Dead 2 & 3 & Overkill). At first I did not suspect the cable, I thought the disc had gone faulty or the controllers. I calibrated the controllers, rebooted the game and the console...but still they were not working. Sometimes a message appeared on the Wii that something was interfering with the controllers and their connection.
The only other significant thing I could think of that had recently changed was this new cable set up. I unplugged these cables and put the original Nintendo ones back in...hey presto...all working again. Whether these particular cables were faulty or its a more widespread design/manufacturing problem in more of them I don't know, but these definalty needed to be returned.
Amazon were great, even though I'd tried them they refunded in full.
I would not recommend these cables, they do not give improvement in picture quality, and the ones I received actually caused the controllers not to work properly. The product is also misleading, 'hd-link', as the Wii does not output or support hi-definition (hd) at all, at this time.
In defense of Nyko, the manufacturer, we do have two of their gun and guitar controllers which are great.
In short these are a waste of money if your wanting to improve picture quality, and possibly like the ones I got, may mess with the function of the controllers.

I bought this thinking I could play wii in hi def. not the case. this doesn't improve picture quality at all. Only buy this if your tv doesnt have, or have any available, yellow,white,red jacks.
Works perfectly February 21, 2010

I purchased this product, on sale, direct through Amazon for $14, largely because it was less expensive than the official Wii cables, and because of the large number of predominately positive reviews.
I hooked up my Wii to a 42inch plasma screen with the HD Link component cable and changed the settings in the Wii. I was pleased that there was an obvious improvement in the clarity of the picture and a decrease in image lag time.
Some of the reviewers have given lukewarm reviews, and that's understandable if you expect your Wii is going to give you 720p or 1080p. If you realize what you are getting [component cables], and you're considering buying this, I think you will be pleased with these cables.
I've had the cables installed for over a month, used daily, and have had no problems with the cable whatsoever.

I have had this for a couple of months. It is exactly as many other reviewers say. It will not make a mind blowing difference, but it does make a difference. At least it makes a difference on my television. The colors are richer on my 52" plasma. My wife says the images are noticeably sharper. I would say they are somewhat sharper. You definitely need to change the video settings on the Wii to 480p. You may also want to play with the picture shape if you have an HDTV. I find that very useful. It seems like a fine quality product. I do not regret purchasing it.
