Confirmed Wii graphics card update!!!!!

Sorry to lie. JK

I want the attention of all the HD TV owners out there who also own Wiis.

I plan on buying a new HDTV within the next month or so. I've narrowed my search down to two TVS, a Insignia 27" that does 720p for $549.99 and a Olevia 27" that does 1080p for $549.99 with a $100 rebate.

I am wondering if there is a huge difference between Wii games in SD, and in HD.

I have seen differences in Red Steel, and in Twilight Princess.

Now I know the difference isn't going to be great but mind you I'm coming from a 15" SDTV from 2000 that my parents gave me when I was a kid.

So does the HD make your Wii games looking better than SDTV alot? Is it a shock and awe type of thing or just a whimper?

Seeing as the wii doesn't even suport HDTV...No.

yes, the wii supports 480p, and ive been useing my 27" Sharp along with it, and it is a amazing difference compared to SD. I personally was amazed, and i HIGHLY recommend if u have the cash to upgrade. the colors on HD compared to SD are dramatic in themselves.

edit: want to make it clear the difference may not be coming from the 480p, im not sure, it may just be the LCDs are just much better TVs.

Here's a comparison:

Judging by these pictures, I'd say that it's definitely worth it to get the component cables if you own an HDTV. But it's not worth it to get an HDTV, just to be able to play Wii games in 480p.

I'm getting a HDTV because I feel I might as well because they are better products. I could get a 40" SDTV for the same price as the 27" HDTVS I'm looking at but I want the better product. If I choose to buy a Xbox 360 in the future I don't want to pay more for something I'll never use, and that goes for alot of TV related products today. I might as well buy HD.

I think the EDTV difference in Wii games between SDTV Wii games is noticable so far. I can notice it in Xbox games from those that did 480p as well. It isn't as big as a difference as 480p or 480i to 720p or 1080p but I think it is a upgrade none the less.
