benmorgan said: using a component cable makes such a huge difference especially in Zelda, its almost like playing the game on a different console. Its a must purchase for any new wii owner still using composite cables!! MAKE THE CHANGE PPL~

Sorry to be a pain, but that's what your post should have said. Totally agree with you though, I had Zelda at launch, and I had to play it for one excruciating day with composite until I was able to purchase Component cables.

I've got a 42" plasma and I'd rather stick with 576i than pay $50 for a bit more texture and colour.

i don't actually use 480p, i only use 480i with component cables (my tv is an sdtv).

but the difference between normal 480i and component 480i is INCREDIBLE. so worth it.

ah the Wii doesn't actually display in HD. It will display some games in 480p but as far as i understand it no game are or will be in HD.

But having said that i use component cables simply because they separate the colours better giving you a sharper picture.
