that's a liar liar situation. You can see a difference in any size compared to a SDTV however the larger the screen, providing you sit at a good distance for the TV's size, the difference will be greater. A smaller screen thats 720p will look nicer than a smaller screen thats 480i. The difference just won't be as easy to spot due to the size of the screen itself but it is there. |

I really think it depends on the tv itself, i own an SD tv, so it is always smooth on my tv.. i took it over to a buddy's house for a weekend, who has a big ass pioneer plasma and i was pretty much expecting a stretched pixelated picture.. and boy was i in for a shock, it looked stunning, not a flaw could be seen (without getting close to the screen, which would intake you are desperate for looking for faults) and the kicker is, i don't even have component cables, so it wasn't even the best resolution But I have seen the Wii running on other HDTVs (usually LCD's) and looking quite pixelated and with sharp edges with mario going, which is a shame for those people |
That's because Tv's use algorythems to expand the SD/ED image to fit the HD screen. The better the parts and algorythem in the TV itself the better it will handle lower resolutions. My TV handles scaling just fine and as such I have little problem with additional jaggies on games from the Wii. Edit: As a rule of thumb Flat panels have a tougher time dealing with lower resolutions than what is native where tube HDTV's make much easier work of it.
