I give the cable 5-star because it is his job to fulfill to 100%. A previously purchased Hama cable was cheaper by 10 euros but had a defect - was certainly bad luck, but I wanted to spare me further surprises. The picture quality has improved so far that the silhouettes are now gone and the image is sharper. Only the problem of Wii is simply that the vertical resolution is a maximum of 480 pixels and for example, an HD-Ready TV just needs to scale to 720 pixels. On my TV the result of this scaling is not outstanding - it looks really exactly like without component cable, hold only sharper and no silhouettes - but just as "pixelated". Other TV may scale better, which explains some euphoric recession.
