Wii 480p/480i questions.

Anyway I've been playing Wii on a CRT TV then I decided to upgraded to a 37" 720p Bravia a couple of weeks ago. I haven't turned on my Wii till last night to play RE4 and I noticed it looked horrific on the HDTV (480i).

I was wondering, will Component Cables (480p) be a noticeable difference compared to Composite Cables (480i)?

If so, does it matter if I go Nintendo Component or will third parties work?

Grab the first party cables and call it a day

You're not doing it right. You have an HD set but for some reason you didn't set the Wii so it could output a readable HD signal

Do it right, it will be fine

Yes it makes a huge difference. You can also get the 3rd party it doesn't really make a difference. I have first party ones, but my brother in law has 3rd party ones, and we both have the same TV and it looks the same to me. It'll probably never look great on an LCD though, Wii's seem to look better on plasma sets.AlmightyDerek

Yes, it is a huge difference. Much much clearer, but at a price. Some games (like Zelda) have more apparent jaggies. After an hour or so, you get used to them I guess, because it's hard to notice...or something (it's wierd how it works). Zelda looks stunning after you "get used" to them. Still, I hear CRT HDs are the best way to go when playing Wii and to get rid of those jaggies or make them harder to see or something.

All in all I'd say I'd rather live with the jaggies and have the much clearer, colorful image then the blurry mess that was composite. Oh and turning the sharpness down a little helps with the jaggies, too.
