The Wii graphics do look rather lackluster on an 1080p LCD HD TV. I just got a 39" one (well okay my parents bought it ) to replace the old set in the living room (aka the gaming room/my "second room"). And I had Brawl have the honers of being the first game I'd play on it. While it did look nicer, since, like several of you said, it is an HD ect. screen with a non HD console, it still looked rather sub par. For example, Olimar's forehead appeared like it was cell-shaded.

Ah well, at least I'll be getting a new gaming system worthy of the new television's capabilities sometime soon (I can't freaking wait to see what Pikmin 3 will look like on it).

Well I mean it looks great, but I could still tell the difference in quality since the technology is unbalanced.

It's more a case of your new screen highlighting every single detail the Wii outputs. So the game ends up looking pretty average compared to other content you see on that TV.

I have a 55" Panasonic LED LCD Television, it looks better than it did on my 32" Sony Bravia LCD TV.

Exactly what I've been trying to say. Just couldn't word it right.

Are you using component cables for the Wii and going into the Wii settings and changing it to be 480p and widescreen? that made a big difference for me. I can't believe how many people are using composite cables on their Wii with HDTVs...

My Wii looks better than a Playstation 3 on my Sony HD TV.

Talk about irony. Sony's gaming system doesn't look as good on a Sony TV as a Wii!

Looks fine in widescreen 480p on my HDTV.

But compared to my 720/1080p PS3 games, wii doesn't even come close.

The pixelated look is part of the charm imo

That, and i can't believe how many people are playing their wii games in 16:9. Looks soft/blurry and dull incomparison to the native and super/crisp & clear 4:3.

I've heard that before and the quality of widescreen and 4:3 look identical on my TV. It may be since I have a DLP instead of LCD.

Not all LCD TV's are created equal. Some models (not brands!) are excellent for gaming, others not so much.
