There has been a debate whether a set of component cables make the Wii look any better than the standard, composite 480i mode. Watch and decide for yourself, 480p vs. 480i.

    It is impossible to see any difference on a youtube video.

    then again, crappy graphics are just crappy graphics- no matter what you’re watching it on!

    The quality is bad on that video, but I’ve seen screenshots that GameSpot did, and 480p IS better, no doubt.

    I have a wii and the Zelda game. when I made the move to the 480p I saw no difference. but when I went to my friends house and used the component cable… I was like Whaaa… I saw a diffrence when going back to the 480i. So the difference is there but you got to swap it back and forth to see it.

    I played zelda a little on my 23 inch LCD at 480i. It was very blurry and felt like I needed glasses (but not unbarable). Then I bought the component cables, the game was no longer blurry and looked MUCH better.

    THE KEY THING TO REALIZE:
    480p will not make the graphics better… only sharper… I still play my wii on a 720p standard LCD and it is still jagged in many areas because it still stretches the image. Using component cables in 480p will only eliminate the blur (and brighten the colors a littl) on high def tv’s.

    Yeah, the video is indeed in really bad quality, and it sort of ruins the integrity of the whole point with the video and all :)

    But trust me, 480p does lok better.

    Yeah I agree, the 480p looks a lot sharper.
