Well, having bought a new 42in LCD TV yesterday, my Wii looks appalling after the joys of R6 Vegas in 1080i.

I see online there is a component cable available, and there is a 480p HD mode in the Wii settings.

Anyone tried this yet? Any recommendations on which cable to get?

The other prob is this is going to mean swapping out cables each time I change between 360 and Wii. Is there a HDMI option for 360 as the telly has 2 x hdmi ports.

thanks

No HDMI for the 360 - yet, rumours are that its in the pipeline, but probably only because the PS3 uses it and MS dont want to be seen "falling behind" so to speak.

Component switch boxes are pretty reasonable these days, and most do a decent job.

Sn forbids linking to ebay - so have a look at this item - 280064284935.

 

I've got the component cable from Gameplay and it looks an awful lot better in 480p 15 squid!

 

4 Port Component/Audio Switch Box

 

good link richie - although the fleabay item is the exact same unit at half the price.

 

was thinking about buying this one but will try fleabay now ta

 

Or search for this - "COMPONENT AV EXPANSION SWITCHER BOX XBOX PS2 360 SKY HD"

£15

 

Use a VGA cable on the 360.

 

Nice, will order one of them tomorrow.

My TV doesn't have VGA connector.

 

true - mine was only a fiver (fleabay again)

 

What TV is it to have 2*hdmi and no VGA ?

 

philips 42PF7621D

 

Same here .
Think Zelda still looks pants in place's (ordon village )But some levels look ace

 

I assume the component at least removes all the jaggies from around text etc? Mine looks like the telly isn't tuned in properly
