Pros & Cons
Pros
If you're a casual gamer who uses the wii more on a social basis then it's debatable as to whether it matters. It gives the best signal the wii can output for a hdtv, giving a crisp and clear picture. Don't forget to set the screen type option on the ... Read More
The cable is well worth it if you have a decent sized and capable tv. The product itself is well built, a good length and is simple to connect. The price isn't exactly a bargain, but if you take your image quality seriously then i'd recommend this cab... Read More
The component cable solves all these problems. It continues to provide quality video ever since i first plugged it in. This cable is better, its fit with a klunk when you plug it in, and the gold plating seems like its actually half decent.
Rgb signal mixes the contour and the color. Produces cleaner images, more vibrant colors, better brightness levels. They improve the picture quality tremendously.
Newer games such as smb and cod look much sharper and clearer. The colors come to life and the blurriness disappears.
Cons
It is slightly better using the component cable and 480p resolution, but not enough to warrant the extra cost. Maybe it is just a faulty product or perhaps my tv even though it does support component.
Highlights
Quality

Wii will simply not display properly with the standard composite cable supplied with the console.

Price
The price isn't exactly a bargain, but if you take your image quality seriously then i'd recommend this cable.
Of course, the only con i can think of here is the price.
It is possible a cheaper cable would work as well, but the difference in price was (to me) not worth the hassle of returning one.
On opening the box you can see where the cost is, well made, very thick and heavy, with gold plated tight fitting pins.
Competitiveness
More than 25cm) the picture really is phenomenal.
Don't opt for the cheaper 3rd party products that are out there.
Boosts the wiis look but not by alot i mostly got this so i can record but i dont really see a diffrence.

In 480p the image is much sharper and you get less flickering but it also shows that the wii is lacking a good antialiasing

The other two looked ok but both didnt have good enough shielding and so had electrical interference in the picture which prevented the edtv output working

Other brands might be a little cheaper but are simply not worth it
