HD TV Problems...

Hopefully someone can help me out here.

I just recently bought a 37' widescreen HD TV, and the 360 looks sick as heck on it. However, I bought the component cables for the Wii, and on the tv, the games look like crap. They were fine on my standard def. TV, but on the HD, they look like...low rez games. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Mario, and Smash are coming up...and I don't want them to look like garbage :(

are the cables from Nintendo?Tjeremiah1988

That too

Also make sure that your TV isn't trying to upconvert from 480 to 720.

You have to go into the Wii settings.

Change your display settings to EDTV (480p) and Widescreen 16:9

Otherwise the component cables won't do anything.

Dude, compared to the Xbox 360, the Wii is a low resolution. 854x480 (widescreen) 640x480 (fullscreen) compared to 1280x720 for the Xbox 360. Of course the 360 is going to look sick on an HDTV, it's meant for that.

I changed all those settings, and it still looks like garbage.jonathan_rector

Same with me. I use the component cables, but here's how I set it up. 480i and 4:3 in the wii options menu and it actually looks better. For whatever reason, I don't know.
