 Does exactly what it's supposed to do July 23, 2010
Benjamin Wilber (Hell)
This link is supposed to allow the user to display the information from a Wii in widescreen without data corruption or interference. I have no complaints, it does what it is meant to do. The cable seems to be high quality, nice and heavy insulation and gold contacts to boot.
Don't forget that if you get this cable and set it up with a widescreen tv there are a couple of things you have to do to get it to work right. First, you have to set the screen settings in the wii menu for 1) widescreen and 2) high def signal, then you have to set the picture size or aspect ratio of that specific input for the correct dimensions.
This should have been what Nintendo packaged in with the Wii. Since the vast majority of people who have and use a Wii are going to be under 30 then odds are they would have a tv that is less than 10 years old and by virtue of that fact most Wii users are going to have widescreen t.v.'s, most likely 720p capable. My t.v. is 46" and 1080p and with this cable I only notice a small amount of graininess but that is to be expected since the wii is at most capable of 480i (or p??) signal. But at least with this cable I can now get the signal to fill the screen without the picture appearing stretched.
Some people give this cable low marks because they expected that with this cable the signal would be "magically" high def, but remember that the Wii is ONLY capable of a 480 signal. That's all you're going to get. If you want the Wii to be true high def then either find a genie and make some wishes or take some electronics classes at your local tech school because short of that it will never happen.
HD Link for Wii well worth the money July 23, 2010
Janice (TN, United States)
I have Super Mario for my Wii - the graphics are much nicer with the HD Link cable than with the cable that came with the Wii. It is well worth the money.
Great cables July 19, 2010

Bought this to use on my Wii, made a large difference in clarity with how games look. Its a great addition to any wii owner to make his games look that much sharper.
a slight upgrade - worth it for HDTVs July 6, 2010
indiefan74 (New York)
while this won't be a crystal clear HDMI quality picture (the wii is not capable of this kind of image) it is a better upgrade than just using the standard composite cables. with that said, the biggest reason i bought this was because i HAD to buy it. my tv does not have standard composite - only component with composite audio. i can't comment on whether or not it upgraded the picture, but it does look better than what the standard tv signals look like. all in all, this cable does what it's supposed to do so i'm perfectly satisfied.
Easy Setup, Works Great June 14, 2010
P. Carman (LA, CA)
I've been playing a lot of Wii games lately so I thought I'd give this a try and now I wish I had this a lot earlier. The Wii will never output at full HD resolution (1080p), but this made a difference I could see. I switched to this in the middle of playing of Metroid Prime Trilogy and the image became noticeably crisper and clearer. Make sure you switch the settings on your Wii to output at 480p. I have a large LCD HD tv so this review is based on that, it's probably not worth it if you're using an older CRT box type TV.
