Wii and HDTV #266314 05/09/08 05:02 PM Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 423 Dayton, OH M maddogmike OP All Pro OP maddogmike All Pro M Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 423 Dayton, OH Does anyone use their Wii on a HDTV? I plan on buying a HDTV with my tax money but I've read in places that the Wii does not always look good on a HDTV.

I felt slighted until i got them (like 20 min. after i saw it with the composite cables), and now it looks great.

You can tell when you play the Wii on a HDTV vs. Xbox 360. If you didn't know better though, the picture is probably acceptable.

And, I can't honestly say if the cables help with HD or not...I never had the Wii hooked up to the new TV with the old cables. #gmstrong #gmlapdance
