I have bought an LG 42LW550T LED 3D TV (which is not quite the best out there for gaming). I have connected my Nintendo Wii to it using AV cables. I primarily play EA Grand Slam tennis online.
My TV has two game modes (with descriptions as per user manual):
I've tried both options but my ageing reflexes cannot judge which has faster display...but technically which one should I use? What are the differences between the two options? The TV user manual does not tell me any more than that.
Secondly if I connect the Wii to the TV using component cables, will I get better performance in terms of display and lag time? Or is Game Mode good enough?
Funnily enough, my TV has two female sockets for component input (see image). So if I a component cable like this (see image), how do I connect? Do I need some 'converter' cables?
And lastly, is it worth investing in a Wii to HDMI converter?
Thanks a ton.

My TV has two game modes (with descriptions as per user manual):
- AV Game Mode: Use the optimized image and sound settings for fast gaming. When playing a video game using PlayStation or Xbox, it is recommended to use the Game mode. When in Game mode, functions related to picture quality will be optimized for playing games.
- Picture Game Mode: Optimizes the video image for a fast gaming screen for PCs or games.
