however, native resolutions do look better on things that use that resolution. If you have a nice widescreen 480p tube, then it would probably look better. But if not, i'd say LCD or Plasma is better than a crappy tube, also use component cables.
my cousin who has the wii has a 50/60 incher sony hd tv, and it looks amazing, kinda scary whipping the wii-motes around like that in front of it though!!!!!!!:shock: i find it funny that a million people have to reply saying the same thing, but I might aswell join them

Not all HDTVs are actually HDTVs nor are they all equal. Some have horrible picture while upscaling stuff others aren't set right. There isn't a real system of standards regarding hdtvs hence why the vast majority of owners of HDTVs don't recieve hdtv content or have it hooked up to recieve hdtv content. To the vast majority of buyers they get it because it is a flat screen.
they have HDTV cables made for that =o (shocker)XxXdoggersXxX
HDMI cables will do you no good if your game won't run higher than 480p. That's like saying putting a low quality movie in a bluray player will make it full HD and amazing.
On my 42" lg lcd tv it looks really bad from 1-8 feet away, so the further you stand from your tv the better it looks.
i also tried it on a samsung 42" plasma tv and it looked alot better on that from close up, i dont know if its because its a plasma or because it has a better upscale then the lcd.
It won't look as sharp as anything that runs in 1080i, but it also won't look like crap. But from my experience here on Gamespot, some people define "crap" as anything less than 1080i. So it's all in your own personal taste.
As long as you have component cables, the graphics won't be bad enough to affect gameplay.

If looking at an upscaled 1080p image on a 40"+ from 6-7 feet corresponds quality wise with a native resolution at a distance of prox 3 ft, I'm cool.
Rereading that, I realize I made it sound a lot more complicated than I wanted to. Simply put: if the image doesn't get worse, merely stretched out (= requires greater distance for same perception), I feel safe. I just don't want it to mess the image up.
Oh, I wanted to mention that running PS2 games on the PS3 DOES look like crap on my television using HDMI. (As I'm sure everyone knows by now.)I have yet to try it with component cables, but I'm sure it will improve the picture.
