HDTV for Wii. Worth it?

I'm considering whether to get a HDTV for my Wii. I was just wondring if the quality of the image on screen would change that much due to it not being as powerful a the 360 and PS3. I also know that the Wii, to get it HD, has to have a composite cable with the five pins. How do i know my future TV will have the correct slots? Thanks for your help.

In most cases...you will HATE the Wii on an HDTV. 480p displayed on a LCD HDTV kind of looks bad. Reason for this is that its giving you a really good image of how bad a 480p image is. Older tv's are good at hiding the flaws cause they don't give you HDtv. I actually bought a small samsung slimfit tv...(standard def) specifically for Wii, PS2, Gamecube and all previous consoles I happen to own.

Don't get HDTV for Wii ... get it cause you want one...you probably won't be overly happy with the appearance of your games.

Looks great on my tv!

but I'm using the right settings, and a component cable.

but Wii was made for standard CRT tv's. Nintendoi will go HD next system

Not worth it for just the Wii but if you plan on getting a ps3 or 360 as well then go ahead. The Wii looks great on my 42 inch 1080p hdtv. I cant understand what problem people are having with getting the wii to look fine on hdtvs. Get the component cable (red, blue, green, red, white) then set the wii to 16:9 widescreen and hdtv in the settings and it should look fine. You might have to change a setting on the tv as well but i didnt have to.

Most Tvs have 5 pins, you should go with a composite cable just to get slightly better picture. And yes, the pic will change because the wii runs in 480p were as the ps3 and xbox 360 run in 1080i, 720p and 1080p.don464

Thanks. I've decided I am getting one for my Wii. Can't wait to see the improvement.Jake_02

So my Wii will look better on a standard def tv? If i do get a HD TV can i still have my Wii displayed on it at a standard def quality? Thanks.Jake_02
