@Wargoose That sounds very odd and is probably something to do with that particular game.
I can't say I've ever tried it myself, but I've run lots of PAL Wii games at 1080p on the Wii U - also on a Samsung TV although probably not the same model as there are a lot of them - and never encountered anything similar.
Well, if you’re planning on getting some Wii U games that was released as Deluxe version of them on the Nintendo Switch. The only Wii U games that you should get that was not released on the Nintendo Switch is Yoshi’s Woolly World, Splatoon, Super Mario Maker 1, and Xenoblade Chronicles X.
The Nintendo Wii U’s eShop will shut down in March 2023. Which means you should not buy any Wii U games that was released as Nintendo Switch DX titles. Also, if you’re planning on getting some virtual console games. Do not purchased any Castlevania, or Megaman Battle Network games because Castlevania Advance Collection is released on the Nintendo Switch, and Megaman Battle Network Legacy Collection 1, and 2 will be released for the Nintendo Switch in 2023.

I suspect there were some newbie users here just spamming new threads for asking something that they didn't even care with the answer here.
Probably some of them are bots that directed to say like normal humans.
@MorningRain Good that you mentioned it also being intended for Wii playback usage, because for it's own catalog alone, it would probably not be worth it, unless you'd be solely focusing on the games and experiences that are to this day still exclusive to the system or still offer a completely different experience, gameplay wise, but that is only a handful of titles, now that most of the titles have been re-released on the Switch. But it's a nice bonus regardless.
Long story short: the answer is yes. Because of the dual option, the Wii U is a perfect replacement for the Wii.
As a secondary option, you could also circumvent having to use the Wii's disc drive by softmodding it and installing all of your Wii games on an external hard drive. If you're even remotely interested in that option, let me know and I'll point you in the right direction. And in case you're hesitant to jump in: there's no particularly difficult steps involved, so anyone with some basic skills in installing and/or adding programs can do it.
As for those games that are either unique to the Wii U and/or offer different experiences on the Wii U:
LEGO City Undercover
Star Fox Zero
Star Fox Guard
Batman Arkham City: Armored Edition
Art Academy Atelier
Nintendo Land
Need for Speed Most Wanted U
Zombi U
Pikmin 3
And there's probably a couple of others that I still forgot, but as you can see, it's not a very long list.
EDIT:
Concerning prices for refurbished systems, keep an eye out for sites like eStarLand. They even offered a new black Wii U with Mario Kart 8 included for $199.95: https://www.estarland.com/product-description/NintendoWiiU/Ni...
Sadly enough, it's currently unavailable, but it does show that in general, they maintain fair prices for consoles.
Sad to say it but the Wii U is no longer made. It was an epic failure by Nintendo so everyone should be focusing on the OLED switch or waiting for the Switch 2. Never had a Wii or Wii U so my opinion here probably won’t matter.
