Using Nintendo wii on 55" T.V.

by shawnee_porter - 12/31/08 6:09 PM

Just got a Nintendo wii tonight and am very new to this all. It seems to not work well on my 55" T.V.! Any advice on how to fix this.

While it may look odd you should at least try the Wii component cable. Link to AMAZON.COM for that cable -> http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Component-V-Cable-Nintendo/dp/B000KXSO1O

Shop around as the price varies a bit.

That's what i've missed!
I've never questioned this before,
so this fact shocked me.

You can change the screen format for your Wii display by selecting Widescreen (16:9) or Standard (4:3). Please note that in addition to using the Wii's setting, you must also adjust your television's options to take advantage of its own widescreen mode. Some television sets will not change to widescreen display even when receiving widescreen input from the Wii console.
