If Nintendo made Wii HD....

If Nintendo released an HD machine, I'd be interested in them. As it stands, the Wii output looks terrible and blurry on my TV, so we have absolutely no desire to have one beneath our telly-box again. Fine for people playing on an SD set, not so fine for those with good HD sets.

BS. With component cables and a good HDTV, the Wii has the same image as on a SDTV.

I know because I tried... My Philips 32'' CRT and my parents' Sony 32'' LCD show exactly the same image.

 

I have a very good HDTV. Top of the range. And the Wii looks a blurry mess on it. The resolution is just too low to look half-decent on my set. Further, I had the component cables (and they made suprisingly little difference, I was upset to find out). SDTVs cover a lot of sins. HDTVs show those sins, especially when the screen is a decent size (not a small 32" set, I imagine).

Sure, it may look good on your smaller set in your house, but it does not look good on my larger set in my house.

Further, just because you disagree with me gives you no reason to tell me I'm speaking 'BS'. That's just ungracious, offensive, and rude, and I expect more from an established member of this board.

Which TV do you have? And how far do you sit from it?

Just because a TV is good, doesn't mean the scaling chips are good. There is no reason for an upscaled image to look bad unless you're sitting too close to the screen (in which case you can make anything look bad... a 720p image will also have jaggies if you sit close enough to a big TV).

The reason I said "BS" is because I see these claims all the time... usually coming from people who have tried the Wii on a single TV with bad upscaling.

PS: The fact that you saw little difference with component cables is far from the view of most people... whenever the subject of component cables pops up, most people say it makes quite a big difference (not just for the 480p resolution but also for the color quality).
