A side by side difference of the look of Zelda through the 2 different cables...

Which do you like better?
wow big difference... now my concern is... does it matter if i buy cables that are $60 at bestbuy and are as thick as a marker or the $20-30 ones that look average but a little thicker than composite cables?
Does it make a difference just for the fact it's not 1080? thanks
I like component better of course. However, component isn't exactly 480i. If I'm not mistaken 480i is using component but without progressive scan. 480i is brighter than if you just use only AV and seems a bit clearer to me.
whoops, I clicked 480i... durr.
480p of course looks better, but when I first made the switch, I did have a little trouble getting used to the jaggies... but now I'm fearing switching back when I get up to school for the semester
THICKNESS DOES NOT MATTER. THE SIGNAL IS SO WEAK THAT IT DOES NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE, THEY JUST WANT YOUR MONEY.you can get away with the cheapest component cable and have awesome quality.

ya got asource for this claim bub...i have it from a solid source (tha wife) that size does matter...sniff...
they both look like crap, but who cares.
I personally am using S-Video cables at 480i of course (it is the best my TV can do).
To be honest though, I didn't notice much of a change except maybe a little brighter.
well, technically, it might matter a LITTLE for the audio, since that is stronger, but because you split the video into three different cables instead of one, each one is that less voltage.
i currently have no grounding on one of the video wires and it works just fine.
I've got aproblem... I've noticed almost all component cables have the 5 cables(3vid 2aud) that come together maybe a few inches after the wires... the problem is, my audio cables don't go to wher emy tv is. I have them ocnnected to my 5.1 surround reciever... now what can I do to either extend them or where can i get component cables that have the wiers seperately but go into the wi adapter?
Justin, I've had similiar problems like this before but depending on which component cables you got, you've got two choices. One, you can use different audio cables. You don't necessarily need to the ones that come with the component cable, you can use any. Two, on some component cables you can simply pull the AV cords slightly away from the RGB cords and they will seperate, again depending on which one you've got.
they should pull apart easily.

Using different audio cables is not an option since there is no standard audio out.
The Nintendo component cables cannot be pulled apart without major surgery. Hopefully someone with the other brands can comment.
Another option is to buy short RCA extensions. Not sure if that will cause any delay in the audio, however.
if you dont have an HD tv is it still ok to run 480i on it, or will it make the camera view wierd or something?

480i is standard definition: TV quality. All TV's run at 480i thesedays.
no wait i just meant 16:9 mode.
i put my wii on 16:9 on normal tv, and i find everything to be too small. so im just wondering is it meant more for an HD?
Well its pretty OBVIOUS that everyone would choose the component cables because the composite cables are really sucky....unless someone doesnt want to spend like 30 $ for some component cables...but I would...so I would definately but the component cables.
isnt 480p better than 408i? I thought it was.
Yes, it is. 480P is for EDTV with progressive scan. 480i is interlaced. Actually without HD using component cables won't make the picture any clearer because it will be in 480i and not 480p but you may notice that it does appear brighter, at least on my TV it does.
