Question Wii HDMI Connection??

Hi

I've ordered my g/f a full HD Panasonic plasma TV, currently she has a Wii. As the Wii's max resolution is 576, is it really worth while playing out for the HDMI lead for it?

Thanks

Baz

HDMI lead?
I don't think there is such an animal.

But coincidentally I've just got (today) the Component one here;
NINTENDO wii Premium Component HD AV Cable: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo

Fantastic buy for the money.

On my panny 50PZ70, the difference is massive.
Set to 480P, the games are much sharper.

As for the internet channel, well it's crystal, whereas before, it was practically unreadable.

No brainer for the money, imo and highly recommended.

Re: Wii HDMI Connection??

Well you would have a problem with that as the Wii does not support HDMI at all. The only options are scart, composite, component and with the use of third party unofficial solutions VGA ( Nintendo does not officially support the VGA option ). Component is really by far the best option of those.

I forgot to say, the cable I received was a Madcatz (Joytech) cable
