Well I finally made the jump to HD and while the ps3 looks great and HD videos look great.... but the Wii looks worse than ever. I was wondering is this normal? I'm using the standard A/V plug in and while on our family HDTV the Wii looks amazing with just the A/V but on this TV it looks all jagged and filled with lines.
My Tv is a Dynex 24 inch LCD 1080p.
And I was wondering, do any of you have this problem? or could it be a problem with my TV?
When I first got an HDTV and tried playing Monster Hunter and Dragonball Z, the image would be a bit blurry and sometimes the motion looks slow. The VC games were specially bad and the controls lagged. The component cables fixed all that right now. I never played a Wii on an old CRT TV but from what I have played it my part it looks good. Though I have a small Tv 19in.
It should fix any lag issues, and make the screen a lot brighter and vibrant. Less blurry too but you might see more jaggies. Tell me how it goes.
Component Cables really help. My Wii looks pretty good being on a 42" HDTV. But I don't know if I would bother if I where in your shoes. Seeing as the WiiU is coming next year and not a lot of interesting Wii games are coming it seems to be a waste of money (If you plan on getting the WiiU that is, if not, go for it).
Looking forward to: No More Heroes: Travis Strikes Again
If your cables were expensive return them and get these Monoprice cables. $30 for cables is alot of money and can be better spend on buying games like the upcoming Rhythm Heaven Fever.
They're inexpensive work great, and look good. I spent $30 on rocket fish cables on Best Buy before and the monoprice cables worked just as good, if not better. The wires are aesthetically pleasing too I thought that for $4 they would look cheap, but they actually looked very good and better than those ugly rocket fish cables. Places overcharge for electronic accessories all the time, don't pay those ridiculous prices. Honestly there's no real difference between picture quality because they all have to go through the same standards. Monoprice is pretty good in general I bought their Universal Screen Cleaner and it works great on everything. It's the only thing I've found that really cleans a 3DS.
Ok well I just picked up a 47 in LCD HDTV today and I was wondering arent the cords that come with the Wii component cables? I am using the cables that came with the Wii on my TV now (which isnt an HDTV) so does that mean I will have to pick up some new cables when I hook my Wii up to my new TV tomorrow?

That's so weird, I got my own HDTV for Christmas, and have been playing the Wii on it and it looks even better on this TV than it did the one in the living room (even though that one is HD, too)... No complaints here.
I think the Wii looks great (using component) on a HDTV, but I guess it also depends on the quality of the TV. I saw PS3's that looked horrible on some TV's.
Not only does the 3DS come with an SD card, but it also happens to come pre-installed with one, additional dimension.
So today my Component cables came in the mail. So I decided to see if it would make the games look better and here is what I got.
The Good: Mario Galaxy 2 Metroid Prime trilogy Golden eye 007 Zelda a link to the past kirby's return to dreamland
the bad. Monster hunter tri Zelda Skyward sword donkey kong country
Now I Mixed with the controls and still the bad games looked awful. Well at least when the charcters were not right up on the screen. It's like once it zooms out to normal (like MH tri and ZSS in third person) it just looks like a bloody mess of jagged lines. So I'm just assuming its my TV and sadly I'll have to live with it. -_-
It's just a shame that two of my favorite games look awful on this beautiful hdtv.
Never heard of Monoprice. Are they like Amazon or Buy.com?
They make a bunch of electronic stuff at cheap prices, they're build quality on stuff is generally pretty good, and the prices are great too. Ever since I was turned onto them I buy nearly all my electronic stuff from them. The only downside is that shipping is around 3-5 dollars (versus being free on Amazon Prime) so I usually wait a little and buy multiple things at once to get the best deal.
I must have a weird HDTV because mine don't have these, it only has a HDMI port, scart port and the red, yellow and white ports. :/ So no upgraded graphics for my Wii. D:
