Not really. My TV disables overscan in all res modes. If a TV lets you do that, the black area is gonna be visible. That's the rendering area the game goes upto. To compensate for overscan. It's not really underscanning. |
Huh? Do all Wii games have black bars?
My tv only has side bar / zoom / s.stretch / stretch as options for 480p over component cable. Side bar means leave it in 4:3, Stretch makes it 16:9
With the WiiU I can choose dot by dot since it's 1080p output, and get black bars all around.
I said it wrong though, there doesn't seem to be overscan in 480p mode for the Wii, my tv doesn't center the picture correctly. In stretch (16:9) mode I get a small black bar only on the left side of the picture and probably miss something on the right. Top and bottom look to match up.
Looks better coming out of the WiiU anyway, too bad that doesn't play GC games. I'm using the WiiU for Wii games, Wii for GC games :)
