dsch: Samsung actually includes good scalers with the TV set. If your friend had component and set things correctly, it could look fairly good.
Hawkeye:
(1) Set it in the Wii settings at the main channel. You don't need to set it per game, it's a system setting.
(2) Buy component cables here: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=108&cp_id=10830&cs_id=1083001&p_id=3566&seq=1&format=2
They're good, solid component cables and will give you great performance.
I have a 720p Sharp Aquos with component connection and can clearly see the image is a blowed up 420p image. Oh Yeah it sharp alright, all those big jagged edges.
Your TV probably has a poor scaler. Wii games should look reasonably smooth. My set is 50" and Wii games look good, although PS2 games look very jagged (of course, connected via component also). 360 games look fine as well.
