so what's the difference between component and composite v.wii

[qtdany]

so what's the difference between the composite cables the wii comes with and the component cables you can order. i heard all it does is change it from 480i to 480p, but if i only have a 1080i tv, will that even matter?

 

[silverlady]

it doesn't matter at all cuz the graphics suck

 

[TinkTink]

lol Wii > your face

remember how late PS1 games looked better than some early PS2 titles?

kthx

 

[slayerfan]

haha no. anti aliasing > your buttface

 

[Allissa]

yea that's nice and all, but i was kind of looking for an answer to my question.

 

[grinning goblin]

wtf are you talking about. The zelda graphics look amazing. So shut your fu cking mouth

 

[Dannelle M]

Now now kids, play nice.

 

[Galidia]

sorry. if you "only" have a 1080i tv you should have no problem receiving both a 480p and 480i signal, so yes it'll work at on your tv

 

[Fnex101]

Component is a much cleaner signal even on a standard tv. Get it if you have the inputs on your TV.

component >>>>> composite

 

[[boredom]]

i was under the impression that if i had a 1080i tv, it could only support 480,720, and 1080i. you're saying it can support 480 and 720p as well?

 

[lion.spider]

nope, usually just 480p not 720

 

[AccsA]

so this is pretty much a must buy if you have an hdtv?

 

[cfisherns]

no, you need an edtv (enhanced definition) to get the most out of the wii, without it looking a little junky like it would on an hdtv

i'm sure it looks fine on whatever tv you put it on though

 

[flying pencil]

HDTV at 480p would look just as nice as an EDTV...EDTV just can't handle anything higher than that.

Bottom line is composite on either EDTV or HDTV will look like crap compared to component on both at 480p.

 

[kessin72]

are component cables out yet?

 

[Kiseki-chan]

480P>>>>>>>>480i

and a 1080i tv will do 480p and 720p, not 1080p though

 

[donovanluong]

i have component cables for my gamecube... are they reusable on the wii?

 

[two11ll]

Nope, early December



Nope, the plug is different

 

[street dreams]

unfortunately no

 

[3n1gma]

are component cables put into the yellow, white and red socket things in the back of your tv? im more used to scart leads.
