I actually have a vision problem and i need to be near the TV to play.Is that the couse.Is the TV Resolution worse on your TVs
Ok that just raised my troll suspicion from ~50% to ~95% (and I doubt I'm the only one). You still haven't said what is actually wrong with the way the games look (how could anyone possibly help you without this information), and if you're trying to now say it's a vision problem causing the issue then I have two things to raise:
Why on earth would you raise that here in the first place? Do we look like opticians or doctors?
If it is a vision issue then surely you'll have issue with everything on it, why then do you state HDTV is fine?
I don't know why but the screen is just terrible and i looked at some hd chanels and they are ok but when i play games it looks really bad
I think you now have to state clearly what is actually wrong with the way the games look to regain any credibility in the thread (people were trying to help you originally thinking it was a technical or setup fault).

I made this thread because i tried the wii u on both of my TVs but it looked the same,and i tought it was something from my wii u,also because everytime i put the smash bros wii u disk the console makes clicking sounds.And i will explain exactly my problem.So the TV is Set to 1080p, but it the picture looks below 720p.Im saying that theres something with the resolution.And can some of you to see if the screen is worse when your closer to it

Okay that's a lot clearer, couple of thing I can think of:
If you go into the System app (the one with the spanner icon) and choose the TV setting is the resolution set to 1080p, if it's set to 480p then I believe all games will output at 480p even though you have a 1080p TV and will look poor as a result. This is my suspicion since you see the same on 2 TVs.
If it's not that, what games are you trying? Even with the Wii U set to 1080p output some games cannot run at that resolution and output lower (although this is upscaled to 1080p so the TV will claim it's a 1080p picture). Super Mario 3D World is only 720p I believe, Mario Kart 8 is 1080p. This could be the cause, but we'd need to know what the games are to check this. It could just be you're using games with terrible graphics.

19-inch Seiki that supports 1080p (though I only have the Wii U outputting at 720p now) and all my games look fine.
Just read about your vision problems. You should get that checked. However, I can't think of anything else besides perhaps messing with the settings on your actual TV on the same input your Wii U is plugged in. Try messing with Sharpness, Contrast, Tint, etc. See if that helps anything.
I own a PS1, GBA, GBA SP, Wii (GCN), 360, 3DS, PC (Laptop), Wii U, and PS4.
I used to own a GBC, PS2, and DS Lite
Super Mario 3D World is only 720p I believe, Mario Kart 8 is 1080p.
Mario Kart 8 is 720p. (Smash U is 1080p.)
Oops, just double checked that and you're right, my mistake. Sure that I read at the time of its release it was 1080p (though I seem to remember the same claims for SM3DW 'till it was disproven).
Rimmer: "Look, I think we've all got something to bring to this conversation, but I think that from now on the thing you should bring is silence."
Homer: "Oh people can come up with statistics to prove anything Kent. Forfty percent of all people know that."
One additional thing to check would be overscan on your TV, and the "screen size" option on the Wii U. If it overscans, it will obviously look worse. I had more or less the same issue a few years ago, all console games looked really blurry. Turns out I was getting myopic though, whoops.
Post processing options on your TV would also be something to check. For like.. my PS3 I have a bunch of them on, but for my Wii U i turned on PC-Mode, which turns all of that off.
