Great picture - Some Issues
Connecting your Wii with the RGB Scart cable gives you a far superior picture than the supplied red/white/yellow composite lead. The picture is sharper and less blurred (so you can actually read small text without eyestrain) and the colours, particularly the reds, are sharper and more.. well colourful really.
However.. it's not a fully wired cable, so unlike an XBox Scart, the pins that control widescreen switching are simply not there. Not too much of an issue if theres a simple button on your TV remote to switch screen ratio, but a pain if like me it means trawling through about 6 menu screens every time you need to switch in and out of widescreen.
Also, there is always a signal - even when the Wii is in standby, so it won't turn on/off your TV as you power up/down the Wii and if you have autodetecting Scart splitters, it may prove problematic.
In summary.. it's more than worth it for the better picture - but for an official, quite pricey cable it really should have been fully wired.

No HDTV? Then you need this!
The SCART Adapter supplied with the Wii simply lets you plug the composite cable supplied with your Wii into your TV SCART socket. Composite is the worst connection type for video and audio, leading to blurry pictures on any TV much larger than 14".

The RGB SCART Cable breaks the audio and video signals into seperate wires/signals, resulting in a crisp, sharp image, with much better colour reproduction: it offers the best image quality for those of us without HDTV.

If you don't have a HDTV then you really need to consider one of these. If you do have a HDTV then the official component lead is the one for you!

RGB SCART - Essential!
The Wii comes bundled with a composite cable (yellow video, red + white audio). Composite squashes all the video information into one yellow cable resulting in a horrible looking picture especially on LCDs and large TVs. The main problem with composite is "dot crawl" a checkerboard looking effect where two contrasting colours meet. It makes small text particularly hard to read.

Now there is a Composite to SCART converter where you plug your yellow composite wire and audio wires into a tiny box with a male SCART coming out of it. While it plugs into a SCART socket, this is STILL composite quality, resulting in the same "dot crawl" and blurry image.

Now this SCART is RGB, meaning it splits the video into Red, Green and Blue, giving a sharp image. However, for an even better picture, Component, will offer a slightly better quality. Hope that clears things up.
