Just to warn you, because you went with an LCD instead of a Plasma you are going to experience jaggies in your Wii games (even with component cables). I've noticed a major difference when playing my Wii on an LCD and Plasma in the amount of jaggies there are. The Wii arguably looks worse with component cables on a Plasma than with composite, but on an LCD it's gorgeous.

Did you get that mixed up or did you mean that you should use composite cables when you have a plasma? I have a plasma so I'm not concerned about how it looks on LCD.


Mixed up haha.

I'm not sure why the difference between jaggies on an LCD and Plasma is so big for the Wii, but the Plasmas I've run my Wii on (including my own) look much better than the LCDs I run it on. Much less aliasing and better color. The only real issues with Plasmas is they burn a lot more power than LCDs. Screen burn-in is a myth. You would have to leavea a modern Plasma on with a static image for more than a week for burn-in, and the half-life of modern plasmas is 60,000 hours +, so they should last most people at least 10 years.

And that's fine NJ5... you can use component cables and set it to 480i.  Just telling you that 480p on LCDs for the Wii is not pleasant in my experience.
