How do i enable my wii to view in 480p. i cant even click on it? Do i need some sort of cable?

Also, is there a big difference between the standard resolution and 480p one?

If your TV can accept component cables and you're not using component cables then you're doing it wrong

You can only select 480p once you have the component cable

are you using component cables then? the Red blue and green ones? If its connected properly not only should the 480p option be available I believe it automatically switches over. I noticed a huge difference, but I went from a 27in. tube TV to a 46in Widscreen LCD TV, so there were many factors at play.

I had to set it manually, and although I noticed a difference, I wouldn't call it huge.

you're probably right. A lot of the difference I noticed was going from such an old small tv, to a big screen widescreen, LCD, and all that jazz, not just the change from RCA to component. I never tried the plain RCA cables in this new TV.
