Forums - Nintendo - Is it Worth it to buy the Wii Component Cables?

i am using a 22 inch Monitor. Can a monitor run in HD?



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

Pc monitors ran in hd way before tvs.

All monitors today run 720p at least.

If your monitor has component inputs, I assume that it may be able to...what is it's native resolution?

Progressive video tends to look MUCH better on monitors than interlaced video (because they typically have not-so-good deinterlacers). 

 



cool, link me to a good set of them : )

 Make sure your monitor has component. If not then you need this http://wiinintendo.net/2007/10/31/vdigis-wii-vga-cable-review/

Yes, but what inputs does it have? For component cables you need a video input that looks like this: http://hr20.dbstalk.com/images/humax_lcd/large/img_5466.jpg



It's a definite Yes. (I even got the GameStop Brand) SMG looks 10x better in Component, along with Zelda, and just about all games. Colors are drastically improved, and lines are more clear. The jaggies are often reduced (SMG and Zelda)

Also I'll find a video of the comparison, but hold on for now.




So let's take a look at Wii games that have outsold their Gamecube predecessors.

Galaxy is about to beat Sunshine
Twilight Princess has surpassed Wind Waker by about 30 thousand
Prime Corruption is just a Japan launch away from outselling Echoes
Resident Evil 4 Wii is 40 thousand away from Resident Evil 4 Cube
Mario Party 8 has trounced all of them
Super Paper Mario is almost 300,000 above The Thousand Year Door
Wario Ware Smooth moves is most assuredly passed whatever the Cube version sold.

Ninty must be pretty happy (if you ignore Battalion Wars sales that is)



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
