Advantages: Far better picture than standard composite, better looking games Disadvantages: Expensive, Only needed for larger screens 32" or greater
After the release of the little white bundle of joy on the 8/12/2006 people were given a composite cable to show off their new shinny new console.
AV enthusiasts all know a composite signal is the poor quality option for showing video on their TV's - what people really want is RGB or Component video input.
As console manufactures are out to make a profit they usually bundle the cheapest and most compatible option with the console and then release upgrades to that product for people who need or want it. Nintendo understand this and have released two video upgrade options - the Wii RGB cable or the Wii Component cable.
Lets get things straight from the off, The Nintendo Wii is not a High Definition Console, What this cable does offer is a enhanced image resolution of 480p.
I finally got hold of the component video cable after ...
Advantages: sharper/brighter picture, opens up more ports on TV, saves hassle. Disadvantages: quite expensive for a simple console improvement
The Nintendo Wii component video cable really is a sound investment if you are the owner of an HD/ LCD TV, and obviously a nintendo Wii.
Before i bought it, i had trouble with the picture quality and contrast on many of the games. Games such as Wii Sports were fine, but more of the action/adventure games such as Zelda or Splinter Cell give a very dark picture which can sometimes be hard to make out what was happening. The only way i could combat this problem was to adjust the contrast on my television which did help, but was alot of hassle.
With the component cable, the picture is not only much brighter, but much sharper and defined. It gets rid of the hassle of having to turn the contrast back down after playing on the Wii and improves the overall gaming experiance. Another bonus is that on your HD TV, this cable plugs into ...
Advantages: Superb Ride, Responsive Powerful Engine, ABS, Power Steering, Added Safety Features, Security Alarm, Plus More. Disadvantages: New Technology Causes Some Awkwardness.

Manufacturer's product description
The new Vectra Fitness VFT-100 Functional Trainer gym allows multi plane and multi-joint user defined resistance training in an unstable environment.This core stabilization training style is popular with, and in many cases, preferred by personal trainers and physical therapists. Why? Because this style of training is shown to better prepare people for movements that occur in daily life, movements that involve the whole body working together. An example would be picking up and moving a bag of groceries, or swinging a golf club.Those interested in injury prevention, performance enhancement, and increasing the body's resting metabolic work rate to help encourage weight loss will love the Vectra VFT-100.The VFT provides many exercise possibilities including the popular high position cable crossover exercises, and cable handle, weight-bearing ball squats.The user may elect to use an exercise ball or other core engaging apparatus with this exciting new gym.The VFT bench easily attaches to the low centre pulley, providing an easy to use option for upper and lower body exercises (i.e. lying prone hamstring curls, seated leg extensions, decline bench presses with cable handles, etc.).The wide position dual arms are adjustable to 23 positions, from 6' high to 4'' from the ground. At the ends of these arms are pulleys that swivel 540º (not limited to 50 º).The VFT offers both high and low position middle pulley locations. This allows for a huge variety of dual handle rows and lat pull downs from a position that doesn't require you to physically change your location.Sport specific grip attachments (sold separately) will allow users to train their sport specific motions with resistance, helping build directly applicable strength for their activity. Can you imagine attaching an actual golf club grip, baseball/softball bat handle, or tennis racquet handle directly to a cable end?With a 4' x 7' working footprint and an adjustable top height between 6'6'' and 6'11'', the VFT will fit in most rooms.
