are those 4 in 1 component boxes any good or do you lose too much quality?
I think your in the wrong section...try Off Topic
To answer your question, they do work just fine. If you live in Minnesota I happen to have one since I have enough inputs for the few component items I have and have everything else on HDMI.
I have the same problem you did. I've got both my Wii and 360 running on component cables. I asked around, and found out that those component selector boxes actually do cut down the quality of the picture. The best thing to do is, if you can, purchase an audio receiver that has the number of component inputs you need. The receiver does an extremely better job at keeping the quality of the picture the same.
I can't say personally if this due to the fact that I havn't purchased said receiver yet. But, the information that was given to me does make sense to me.
already have a reciever, dont want to replace it, guess i will have to get a new TV
hey greenfrog dont be a thread nazi
this question relates directly to the Wii setup so is relevant
so, how much do these boxes cost?
I disagree. All they do is simply reroute/reconnect/extend the connection. There is absolutely no reason they should lower the quality. But to be on the safe side, purchasing one of the better ones would not hurt. (I used to have one for all my composite cable systems too, never an issue) (I got a philips both times, they seem to work the best.)
my brother just got one its a phillips, he also says no quality loss so i will probably get one too
