Wii on 50+ inch widescreen 1080p?

Gonna be getting a TV something like this...

I was wondering if anyone out there already has or has seen what Wii games look like on that scale.

Also what type do you have/did you see it on?  Plasma? LCD? DLP Projection?

Thanks!

wii can only do 480P.

on a 50 inch 1080p screen,.. expect it to look like crap. seriously, jaggies all over the place. Wii was made for standard definition small tv's unfortunately... 

Yea but have you actually seen it?

Would there not be a way to drop the res on your TV or something when using the Wii so it doesnt get stretched all to hell?

I also invisioned that possibly the Wii game screen could be "within" the T.V. screen, much like how you can open up an old game at 800x600 and it will be in its own widow within your monitor with most of your desktop still visible.  Small yes, but at least its sharp.

I have a 26" LCD with the Nintendo brand component cables and set to widescreen 480p and it works and looks fantastic.

yes 26 inch..... but bigger than 32 inch will look horrible.... even ON 32 inch it's barely looking good (depending on what game)

i seriously hope that Nintendo will enable upscaling in the future. This won't make the graphics any more detailed, but it will make them look acceptable on such a big screen.  it's just the biggest downside that the Wii has... i don't understand why nintendo thinks standard def will rule the next 5 years.. especially with gamers.... 

I played a Wii on an HDTV 47", and it looked really jagged. Hope it turns out well for you though. Now I just play it on my regular TV, and it looks better.OddballTECH

that's because wii graphics ARE very jagged...  

I've got mine hooked up to a 42" 1080i DLP. No complaints.crowbarfacelift

that's great, but that's more because of you tjan it is because of the grahics.  YOu are less criticall (which is a good thing).

Wii graphics are very jagged though (unless the screen is really unsharp :-P) 

The Wii looks fine on HD sets, just like every other system in history it's going to have a few flaws in the early stages.

Since you NEED the component cables you're going to see the true signal from the Wii so expect more "jaggies" but nothing out of this world.

It's 100% false that the Wii was made for small normal sets. My friend has a set over 50 inches and it looks fine on hers

Then what the crap are doing owning one if you think it is so awful?!  I mean u do own one dont you?  Or are you just on this forum wii bashing?

I have my Wii hooked up to a five-year old 52" rear-projection 4:3 TV capable of 1080i. Everything looks fine on it in 480p. Unless you're used to playing games in super high-def on a high-end TV, I don't think you'll have any complaints.JordanElek

CRT?

Why the crap does he own one? Hmm... maybe he has a 360, PS3, or something OTHER THAN THE WII. Jeez, fanboys...

we're talking graphics here.. i have a Wii and i love the Wii and the Wiimote (best controller out there). i think that most games we've seen so far have crappy graphics. All games have horrible jaggies. This is NOT about art-STYLE. Lot's of Wii games have a great arstyle.

i'm not bashing the Wii. the Wii graphics just DON't look good on a big HD screen.... not if you are used to 360 or Ps3 graphics.

I can live with it if the game play is great. loved Zelda , loved Red Steel, and am playing super mario strikers right now.

i play my wii games on a 32 HDTV however. My 360 and pS3 games i play on a 100 inch screen with a HD projector.

Hey a Toshiba HDTV, both me and my friend own Toshiba.

I own Toshiba LCD 32 Inch HDTV   and Wii looks perfectly fine on it, no jagged edges

My friend owns Toshiba 52 inch Plasma HDTV and again, no jagged edges...  looks pretty good.

Toshiba makes best HDTV 

wii can only do 480P. Plus it would look pretty bad. I wouldn't go much over 32' to get the highest quality out of it. My wii looks better on my little 15' t.v than my 32' hd t.v (and yes i brought the cables for 480p)andrewkozis

everyone is saying the wii looks bad on HDTV's...    maybe because their TV's suck...

once again, let me add that Toshiba HDTV's that are fiarly large (50+ inch)  look very well with the Wii on componite cables, there is no jagged edges on a Toshiba HDTV. I own the 32 inch LCD Toshiba, and it looks very good.

Either you're lying, or sitting so far back that the whole thing is a blurry mess.

sorry. it is of no good to the topic creator to pretend there are no jaggies in Wii games.MAybe you are blessed enough to not know what they are, but this has NOTHING to do with screens.. Wii games have jaggies like gamecube games, PS2 and xbox games had jaggies... the games just have them. even most Ps3 games and 360 games have them (though less appearent because of the higher resolution.)

Wow thanks for all the input guys.

 Some differing opinion here so ill have to see for myself I guess...

Thing is I'm not buying the TV just for the Wii...when my new house is done being built I plan to buy a TV and all 3 systems.

Im not expecting Wii to look as good as PS3 or XBox, Im banking on the fact that the party games will be a fun time when friends are over...(and maybe a nice sneaky way to get my girlfriend into games )

Well, it aint gonna be for at least 6 months so who knows what may pop up between now and then.

I played Wii Sports on a 57'' HDTV in 480p & it looked ok, but seriously the Wii was meant for tv's around 26''

If you have enough to buy a 50'' buy a seperate TV for teh Wii :P

Looks like garbage on my 32" LCD and 42" Plasma. At 50" I could only imagine.

Wii needs upscaling. Bad.

I seen it at bestbuy it was a 50" DLP screen. It looked fantastic, All you need is a Nintendo brand component cables and set to widescreen 480p because the wii does not go up 1080p. But it still looks fantastic, they were playing Zelda and Mortal Kombat: Armageddon.

yes 26 inch..... but bigger than 32 inch will look horrible.... even ON 32 inch it's barely looking good (depending on what game) 

yeah, that's what I have. I think it looks pretty good but jaggies are extremely visible.

In that case, you'll definitely want a big TV. It's a lot easier to play four-player games on a bigger screen. Everyone can spread out so they don't hit each other and still be able to see clearly enough.

Thats such a lie unless you can prove it to me with a picture in the wii setup forum. Prove it.

projector = cool but bad graphicsBabyMario19

not true at ALLL.. buy a good HD projector and you will be amazed. nothing can beat it.

People who think projectors give bad graphiocs didn;t see a good hd projector. 

To play Wii on a projector = bad idea.. cause bad graphics enlarged is even worse.
