how will the wii work on a small television? i have a 13" tv in my room. will i need to upgrade to a bigger one to play games?

why would you need to do that, the sensor bar won't care how big or small your TV is...all you need to worry about is how far back you sit (or stand) when you play...sometimes things could look a little small maybe

[Mr_Stoukaph]

i mean, like, the since things are smaller that would make them closer together and it would be harder to aim at the little things (e.g. in TP when youre aiming the bow at something)

Hi Mr Stoukaph,

How many inches is your computer moniter? Because the Wii will come standard with VGA output, so you will be able to play games on your moniter. So it should be easier to sit close to a moniter than it is to a TV. Another advantage of using your moniter is that it should have a far greater resolution than a TV which will aid in trying to point at small objects with the Wiimote.

I think u dont understand something... when u point the wii mote, u can point into the wall, it doesnt matter, the sensor bar will understand this information and make the respective action
Correct me if im wrong

[Mr_Stoukaph]

yeah, i get that, but like on a bigger tv it will be easier to point to a small item on the ground but for a smaller tv you would need to make sure you point it more precisly, right?

its about the same size as my tv but the higher resolution might help

no i dont think so cause either if u ddont have the tv the sensor bar will kknoe where the controller is so if there is a big, small, medium or any size tv it will work = for anyone. but i think playing on a bigger one is better

[Mr_Stoukaph]

i guess this also goes with the "will you have calibrate the sensor bar" question. i think you would becaus it would need to know how big your tv was so it could know what you were pointing at.

I think it might be kind of along the lines as if a DVD was "formatted to fit the screen," not all screen sizes are the same, but the technology in the DVD player unserstands how to send the signal. I think the Wii and the wiimote and sensor bar will just do sort of the same thing.
