High QualityFeb 10, 2011
By L. Hall
"Fan of the Constitution!"
I first purchased a cheap 3rd party component cable from Amazon. What I didn't realize is that the cable is of very poor quality, I assumed this was the case because of the price. I thought I might get away with something that worked for really cheap. (I was wrong) Component is obviously much better than the factory composite cables, so I won't get into that.
Those cheap cables have little to no shielding in them, which in my case, caused very noticeable interference on the TV. I saw about 3 sections of 'fuzzy' scanning lines, slowly making their way up the screen. I searched this issue and found some people could get the lines to go away if they unplugged the audio, wiggle connectors, etc.. none of this worked for me.
The interference sections are quite annoying, so I went ahead and bought this Monster component cable. They were cheaper than the official Nintendo component cables at the time of purchase. Once I received the Monster brand in, I compared the two cables. The Monster cable is of MUCH higher quality (double shielded was the selling point for me)(solid feel to it). Monster cable is about 3 times the thickness of those cheap 3rd party cables (no joke).
When I started the Wii with the Monster cable hooked up, the image was rock solid! No more annoying fuzzy scanning lines!
In my opinion, I'd recommend buying this cable over the cheap 3rd party cables any day. You're chances of interference is much lower with the Monster cable.

What else do you expect from MonsterFeb 26, 2010
By D. Collier Exactly what you would expect from Monster. Great quality product. You'll see a lot more jaggies with your Wii games, but that's just because the picture is so much sharper and clearer. Nice crisp, clean colors. I bought this cable to replace a Nyko Wii component cable that kept dropping colors. Will go with Monster first from now on.

You get what you pay for...Dec 07, 2010
By Jimmy I know some people are complaining it's 2 - 3 times the price of lesser brand versions but I've always trusted Monster w/other cables in my media room due to it's reliability & quality. If you look at it next to another brand, you can tell it screams better quality but that's just my humble opinion. Besides, not like it's more expensive than the Nintendo-branded version (this was actually less expensive than the Nintendo version at the time of my purchase). BTW, remember to verify you're getting the package model that ends in CVA-10, NOT CVA-8 because that's the older version w/an 8-ft length versus 10-feet for the new version (same price).

Helps improve picture on HDTVOct 23, 2009
By R. Grayhat I bought the Monster component cable for Wii at Target for $26 and I did notice that there is now a wider color range, colors are not oversaturated or muddy as before. A lot of the jagged black lines are gone. I know that its not HD, but it is a lot closer to HD than before.
I played Super Smash Bros Brawl and the graphics are sharper with a wider color range. Muramasa and a Boy and His Blob NEED the component cable just because of the amount of colors on the screen.
I had been playing these games for a few weeks so I noticed a difference. But yeah there are a few people who don't notice. This could be because they were playing on small screens to begin with -- but I'm playing on a 46" Sony Bravia so I noticed a difference in resolution.
ALSO, I did notice that the sound improved. I wasn't sure if it was the cable, but according to the Amazon description, the cable helps improve the sound too.

An Absolute Must Have for the Nintendo WiiSep 05, 2011
By G2akaJT Since the Nintendo Wii does not have HDMI, playing video games and watching Netflix via the Wii on a HDTV is not as much fun with the standard A/V cables provided by Nintendo. These Monster Component Video Cables are not HDMI, but as close as you can get to HD with the Wii. These cables are an absolute must have for any Wii fan.
