Wii Hardware \ Component Question

Deed says:
I know that the component cables make the games look better but only on selected screens (CRT not the much difference)

Does anyone know enough about it to know if it will make a difference on mine?

I have a Hitachi PJ TX-100 projector on a 120" screen.

If you are using a big screen to project on (which you are) and your projector has component inputs and supports progressive scan (which it should) then I recommend that you use the component cables. Especially if you are having a bigger picture, you will notice that the picture has less definition then it would if being displayed progressively with your component cable.

120 INCHES!! yeah mate, i'd get them for sure. the bigger the picture, the more you see the imperfections.

does your projector support progressive scan? (have a look in the manual, see if it can display 480p/576p) if so, then get the cables. even if it doesn't have progressive scan, i'd advise you to get the cables anyway as you have such a large screen.
