mine looks pretty cool w/ nintendo component cables, but my LCD is 37", not sure if the difference would be big. 

it kinda depends what you look for in games

With my 45 inch CRT HD-TV it looks good. Lots of jaggy edges but alot clearer. Before componet=exteremly blury. After componet=Clear. It is also alot more colorful.

It depends... is the set 720p or 1080i/p? 720p it will looks pretty good... 1080i/p, it starts to show it's lack of detail.

Indeed, or get an RGB scart cable if you're in europe otherwise a blurry and jaggy mess will greet you. For some reason all my Gamecube games look sharper than any of my Wii games on a 17 inch LCD.

With the included cables it looks like crap on my HDTV. It looks better on my 32" standard def TV. I wonder if I should pay the extra money and get the component cables.

if it's a 480p tv, which i doubt, it will look excellent. but if it isn't, then it will look like junk.

I've got a 42'' 1080i plasma tv.  It looks great with component cables.  S-video will look alright, but the included composite cables looks like crap with most games.  Get some component cables then set your Wii on EDTV mode, it'll look good.
