I have a 37 inch Olevia HDTV and my wii looks great with component cables, very sharp, and I don't really notice the "jaggies" much.

 If you read my post at all you would have seen my cooment that I think the Wii looks gret my my HDTV. But shocker of shokers people shouldn't just buy any old hdtv, even and maybe especially wii owners.

it also looks good on my TV,im not complaining

I think the clarity you get using an HDTV even for the Wii is worth while. The difference between interlaced and progressive scan is certainly noticeable. That and HDTV is just so nice for sports :)

its like watching sports an analog feed on a 25in or less tv looks good that same analog feed on a 50-60 hdtv looks like crap unless its a hd feed the analog feed will always look better on a smaller tv 36 in. and below.

The Wii in widescreen 16:9 480p looks better on an hd set then running it 480i fullscreen 4:3 on that same large screen especailly if your using a stretch mode to make it full screen.

Still if your using a 36 in. or smaller letterbox 4:3 tv the wii will look great that way to.

Still 480p to 1080i or even 720p is a huge difference its way clearer 600 more lines of resolution at 1080 and 320 more lines at 720 and thats displayed resolution not source resolution.

That's very true, but people who can't afford a good setup probably shouldn't be complaining about bad pictures. It's definitely not the console's fault. If someone can't afford a good tv setup, and they don't complain, that's fine. The problem comes in when people have a bad setup and start to complain that the wii is the issue.

for this reason alone - I spent a lot of time choosing my HD Tv as I knew that the 360 / PS3 would plug in on any TV and look great but the Wii would be hit or miss depending.

Made a good choice in the end and i've sen other peoples on Wii with cheap TV's and I totally agree, a decent SD is better for Wii gaming that a cheap, badly chosen HD TV.

I got a 44" Hitachi Full HD 1080p tv and it looks alright, i think i might have to buy the HD cables though.

I think using composite cables on a flat screen is a definite no no.  I normally play with on a projector screen with the Wii connected to the projector using component cables.  I went on holiday recently and took my Wii with me but only took composite cables.  The hotel room had a flat screen of around 32 inches and I couldn't even play some games because the picture was so so bad
