Why won't my Wii let me select 480p?

I have a 720p TV that supports 480p, but for some reason my Wii won't let me select 480p from the menu.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Do you have Wii component cables?

EDIT : :lol: we all posted at the same time.

I've tried using Component and S-Video.

It's greyed out on both.

Check your TV settings.

Make sure everything is connected to the right socket, and not loose. If it still doesn't work, then IDK. Sorry

:/

Oh well, it looks somewhat better with S-Video, even if it's outputting 480i there are no jagged edges.

Component cables are the only one that can produce 480p. Make sure you are not thinking composite. Component cables are a FIVE cable bundle.

Also, off-brand cables sometimes dont work properly.

Just to make sure.

False. The set needs to be able to handle Enhanced Definition (480p). There are older TV models that might have had component cables that only allow the benefit of the separation of the colors. So, technically if the set isn't HD or ED then attaching component cables will not do anything.

Sorry bout that, I misreadthat you put it just won't output correctly. I had just woken up from passing out while attempting to do homework.
