After reading a few different threads about component cables and picture quality and whatnot, I'm just wondering what kind of TV you guys are using and what you would recommend. I just thought that I should be in the know for a future TV purchase. Any input is greatly appreciated!

I recently purchased a 50" Samsung DLP set (below). Awesome picture. I'm using component cables for the Wii. Widescreen- for the games that use it- is nice, but all in all the image quality from that system suffers a bit when compared to when it's hooked up to a 30" TV with lower resolution.

Ya, that's what I've been hearing. I'm a pretty big fan of 32" screens though, and that's what I was going to eventually look into. Just want to get some opinions for the time being.

I use a 32" LCD-TV with component cables. I recommend the same formula for you since I think that the image quality is improved.

I have a 50 inch bravia rear pro hooked up via component. It looks fine, not as nice as 360 does through the set but it doesn't bother me too much. Sometimes my eyes bleed a little from jaggies though :?.

I have a 57" Hitachi CRT rear projection TV. The component cables do make a difference, but like someone already said, 480p just doesn't cut it on a screen that big.

I've got a plain old 32", whatever you call the regular TVs that aren't flat, digital, or HD.

I've been thinking about getting an S-video cable to improve quality but my friend says it won't make a difference, it' sjust my TV :lol:

Using a bigscreenHDTV with the Wii makes no sense, even in 480p the graphics look terrible. A standard definition 21' tv is the way to go. No offence m8s.

yeah a big screen does not look that great at all. i play wii on a small hd tv set on edtv mode and it looks good. however my friend has a 52 intch tv and the wii looks really bad . its cus the res on wii is way to low to be dispayed on a big screen . likes face it 480p was made for tvs in mind that are no bigger then 30 intches . the res is just streched out to much on a big screen .

Yeah, but there are problems with gettign big tvs like that...I had initially purchased a 40'' dlp Samsung hdtv and was playing mariogolf on it, but there was some major lag between me hitting the button for the power meter and the power meter reacting to it...it was scrwign my game up, plus the inputs on it were all on the side and not in the middle back part of the tv...So I took it back for a 32'' LCD Samsung, and it looks as good and the games, even gc games liek Mariogolf, play just fine, and look good.

Currently, I'm using a 13 inch CRT television. But I'm buying a new 26 inch LCD television (forced to buy HD, since you can't find an LCD w/o it these days) for the World Series. So that's going to be my new gaming television.

There can be delay problems on 480 games, if the TV is upscaling the image. There are ways around it, if you have a tv that does that.

The Wii wasn't really a big consideration in me getting the TV, though. So even if that were a problem, which it isn't, it wouldn't have stopped me.

Since I live with my family (not even in college yet so yeah :P), so I use their 60" (I think or was it 62"?) Samsung Plasma (I believe) T.V. :). I believe it's the slim kind too :). I'm using that until I get my 32" Samsung T.V. for my room (going to use it for my consoles, and my P.C. :).).

21" Insignia HD TV (use it as my computer monitor too), and I use Nintendo's Compnent Cables. Wow, I was surprised it made such a difference on a little TV.

I play on a 36(not sure) inch Panasonic SDtv. Metroid Prime 3 looks good on it so I don't miss the HD
